The MXnet 48 Port Network Switch is the center from which all other MXnet Ecosystem platform components revolve. The AC-MXNET-SW48 (and also AC-MXNET-SW24) pack a serious A/V performance punch with the addition of AVPro Edge’s proprietary design and engineering efforts. This isn’t your father’s network switch, and it’s also not just a simple re-configuration of multicast switch components. The AC-MXNET-SW48 includes a whole new AVPro developed network switch operating system (NOS) designed to reduce multicast processor loads and adds unique AVPro developed Intelligent A/V Processing (IAVP) technologies for more efficient multicast routing.
The AC-MXNET-SW48 Network Switch is only one part of the MXnet Ecosystem that includes Encoders, Network Switches, Control Processors, and other various components designed to facilitate the building of a custom A/V distribution system. MXnet’s Ecosystem includes formatting such as resolution scaling, full EDID management, multifaceted video walls, and includes the MXnet MENTOR setup and control tool - making installations easy on the integrator, while also presenting a major WOW factor for your client.
- Fast Switching –
- Enjoy almost instant source to source switching to any receiving endpoint.
- On average, MXnet switches the same timing and resolution sources in less than 2 seconds with zero black frames.
- Low Latency –
- The average latency time between audio and video onset is around 35ms.
- Anything 40ms or less is invisible to human eyes and ears.
- We tested thoroughly and found that different signal types can play a role in latency, so we have our findings listed here:
- MXnet Point to Point (HDMI or Decoder Analog Out)
- Less than or equal to 33MS (1Frame)
- MXnet Encoder (Non-Downmixing/2CH PCM Only)
- Less than or equal to 1MS
- MXnet Encoder (AVDM)
- Less than or equal to 60MS
- 60MS achieved only when downmixing HBR audio (Dolby TrueHD or DTS Master Audio), usually less.
- It should be noted that anything less than 100MS is considered unnoticeable.
- IAVP ( Intelligent A/V Processing ) –
- We re-engineered and optimized every system module that impacts multicast processing.
- That includes a complete reworking of IGMP, Jumbo Frames, Spanning Tree, and multicast filtering.
- MXnet NOS (Network Operating System) –
- Multicast CPU utilization has been completely reworked, resulting in amazing efficiencies.
- Processor loads will never exceed 40% even when the switch is fully populated.
- System boot times take 1 min 45 sec from a cold power up to full functionality, including POE device power-up.
