10Gb connectivity allows full network convergence of lighting control, audio, intercom, and compressed video.

• PoE++ implementation on every copper port allows you to connect any PoE device available today.
• Today’s PoE standards (802.3af, 802.3at and 802.3bt) are all met. GigaCore 30i can directly drive almost any IP PTZ camera, network node or PoE powered loudspeaker on the market.

• GigaCore switches are fully validated in real-world applications with major brands in the AV industry for different protocols, including NDI, Dante, AES67, ST-2110, IPMX, MA-Net, and many more. (AVB/MILAN supported in future firmware)
• We don’t just approve against a protocol but actually test it. Because of real world application validation and interoperability testing, we understand the applications and make sure you can deploy our product with confidence.
• Luminex support team really speaks your language and has a vast amount of AV knowledge built up, not just from talking protocols but mainly from working with you and living through your real application network challenges.

 

 

• A robust yet silent design allows you to use GigaCore in any AV environment.
• Fans are speed controlled to have minimal noise impact and guarantee a long-life operation. This allows you to place the GigaCore in the most quiet environments like theaters and studios.

 

 

• All GigaCore switches can be managed with a single network-wide tool: Araneo
• Araneo’s online mode shows everything you need to know about the status of your GigaCore network. Data streams and topology are visualized as are the port status of every GigaCore.
• Monitor your network with confidence and act before the show gets interrupted!
• In offline mode, Araneo lets you plan the complete network topology and GigaCore settings in advance. Reducing network commissioning time to a mere click of a button.

The built-in web UI allows you to adjust the settings in an intuitive way. Assigning Groups (VLANS) to ports, creating trunks or adjusting other port- and PoE settings can be done on the fly and the status page gives you an overview of the complete switch at a glance. The toolbox page allows management of profiles and lets you upgrade firmware easily.

Consistent Group (VLAN) colors in the web UI, in Araneo, and on the front panel LED’s.
