Designed specifically for live events and touring with advanced AV protocols, the Luminex GigaCore 20T 16-Port Gigabit PoE++ Managed AV Switch SFP+from Luminex GigaCore 20T 16-Port Gigabit PoE++ Managed AV Switch SFP+allows you to smoothly manage your lighting, video, and audio network. Validated for professional applications such as Dante, NDI, and AES67, the front panel includes four Gigabit EtherCon connectors with four more on the rear panel alongside eight Gigabit speed RJ45 ports. All 16 ports are PoE++ compliant, providing up to 90W of power to compatible devices such as PTZ security cameras, loudspeakers, and network nodes.

Four 10G SFP+ uplink ports allow the switch to become the backbone of a fully converged network, where multiple applications can operate on the same network. The ruggedized design makes the GigaCore 20T ideal for frequent tear down and build-up requirements. Two cooling fans help to maintain optimal performance with a 168 Gb/s switching capacity while producing minimal noise.

GigaCore switches are fully validated with major brands for different protocols, including NDI, Dante, AVB/MILAN, AES67, ST-2110, IPMX, MA-Net, and more.

Each of the 16 copper ports provides up to 90W of power to PoE compatible devices with a total budget of 500W.

The two fans are speed controlled to have minimal noise impact and guarantee a long-life operation. This allows you to place the GigaCore in quiet environments such as theaters and studios.

GigaCore switches can be managed using the Araneo tool. Araneo's online mode shows what you need to know about your network, with visualized data streams, topology, and port statuses. In offline mode, you can plan the complete network topology and settings in advance.

Q: 1. Hi I am wondering how smooth the PT movements are. Does the "step motor" mean it moves in noticeable steps or is it a smooth motion. Would it be realistic to incorporate the PT move in the video broadcast or is it just for repositioning the camera while not to line? Thanks.

A: The pan/tilt/zoom mechanism uses an accurate step driving motor and functions quiet and smooth.

Q: 2. with this camera and joystick panel option.... can i get a long SDI cable to my video switcher, and control over standard {ethernet, cat xx) long cable for movement ?

A: While this camera does have an SDI output, the controller in this kit is not IP.

Q: 3. Our camera is 75' from the platform. will this camer zoom that far without distortion?

A: I would consider a 20x or 30x PTZ camera based on the ranges that you work and need to zoom. https://bhpho.to/3LOVCiF

Q: 4. If I run Ethernet out of this camera, could I convert to rs422 and control this with the AVMatrix vs0605 switcher that has ptz control capability?

A: No you can not. You will need to use the RS232 port on the camera when connecting to that switcher for PTZ Control. We sell cables that have RS232 on one side for the camera and RS422 on the other for your switcher/controller here is an example TecNec Visca Camera Control Cable 9-P D-Sub F to 8-P DIN M 50 Ft B&H # TEV9F50 MFR # VISCA-9F-50

Q: 5. How far away can the subject be?

A: At 10X, we recommend 40ft or less.

Q: 6. This camera came with a remote control?

A: Yes it does.

Q: 7. Does camera has plastic or glass lenses?

A: The following unit has glass optics.

Q: 8. Can this be controlled with Blackmagic Design's ATEM software?

A: This camera is currently not on the Blackmagic Design list of compatible ATEM devices.

Q: 9. Does it come with a mount?

A: No it does not.

Q: 10. Is the IR remote the only way to control it? Is other software included for control over LAN?

A: Along with the IR remote you will also be able to connect this camera to your network and control it with PTZOptics 4D IP Joystick Controller (GEN3), B&H # PTJOYG3. This camera and the remote use Visca over IP protocols.
