Designed specifically for live events and touring with advanced AV protocols, the Luminex GigaCore 18T 16-Port Gigabit PoE++ Managed AV Switchfrom Luminex GigaCore 18T 16-Port Gigabit PoE++ Managed AV Switchallows 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.

Two 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 18T 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.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. 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: 2. can this camera be Daisy Chained and if so, what is necessary?

A: You can daisy-chain the AViPAS AV-1281 for camera control. You will need to use an 8-pin male to male cascade cable and go from the RS-232 OUT of one camera to the RS-232 IN of another camera.

Q: 3. Does camera has plastic or glass lenses?

A: The following unit has glass optics.

Q: 4. I also plan to use the AV-1281 with an ethernet only solution. Over the cat 6 the power will be provided through POE and the received video data with IP streaming into OBS software. Can I also use an OBS plug-in to control the camera movements as well? All three functions would be through a single cat 6 cable.

A: Yes the AViPAS AV-1281 has been successfully controlled with the OBS PTZ Plugin. Avipas advises for the AV-1281, you would need to change the UDP port from 1259 to 5678 (reboot after save the change). Otherwise, it won't connect.

Q: 5. Will the cameras 1080i / 59.94 SDI output resolution work with 1st generation of Black Magic ATEM switcher?

A: If you are referring to the original Blackmagic Television Studio Production Switcher then yes, it will work. That switcher required a 1080i59.94 setting from the camera, which this camera offers.

Q: 6. if I need to install this camera like 100 ft far from my switcher and the controller wich cables do I need to add to my cart?

A: Kopul Premium Series 3G-SDI Cable (100 ft) BH #KOVBBC4100 • MFR #VBBC-4100 https://bhpho.to/3oyvJeO

Q: 7. Can the camera's IP address be set manually to fit our network?

A: Yes, that should be possible.

Q: 8. 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.

Q: 9. Does it come with a mount?

A: No it does not.

Q: 10. If my computer does not have an sdi input how to I connect the the video to my hdmi input or usb, I just need it to stream for YouTube nothing fancy

A: You can simply connect the camera to your network by using the ethernet port on the camera and then receiving the IP feed on your computer with software e.i. OBS. If you use the SDI, you'll need to get an SDI capture device like BH #MA32070: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1350328-REG/magewell_32070_usb_3_0_sdi_capture.html?sts=pi&pim=Y
