NETGEAR M4500-32C - Switch - L3 - Managed - 32 x 10 Gigabit / 25 Gigabit / 40 Gigabit / 50 Gigabit / 100 Gigabit QSFP28 - rack-mountable

The trend of moving matrix switching into the Ethernet network is inevitable and SDVoE already delivers capabilities far beyond that of a traditional matrix switch. Historically it has been simple to design AV over IP systems of up to 96 I/Os using a single switch using Layer-2 Multicast IGMP. However, larger installations required data center-class 100G Ethernet switches with more complex Layer-3 Multicast Routing techniques, adding complexity and cost to the Ethernet infrastructure.
