GigaCore 16t Product Overview

Product Information

1Gb Connectivity

GigaCore 16t is an indispensable part of any mobile AV network where reliability and a quick and easy setup are needed.

PoE++

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 16t can directly drive almost any IP PTZ camera, network node or PoE-powered loudspeaker on the market.

AV validated for real applications.

GigaCore switches are fully validated in real-world applications with major brands in the AV industry for different protocols, including NDI™, Dante™, AVB/MILAN, AES67, ST-2110, IPMX, MA-Net, and many more.

We don’t just approve against a protocol but test it. Because of real-world application validation and interoperability testing, we understand the applications and ensure you can confidently deploy our product.

The Luminex support team 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.

Robust yet silent design

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 quiet environments like theatres and studios.

 

Araneo to manage and monitor the complete system.

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 is the port status of every GigaCore.

Monitor your network with confidence and act before the show gets interrupted!

Araneo lets you plan the complete network topology and GigaCore settings offline. You are reducing network commissioning time to a mere click of a button.

 

Intuitive web UI

The built-in web UI allows you to adjust the settings intuitively. Assigning Groups (VLANS) to ports, creating trunks or modifying 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 the management of profiles and lets you upgrade firmware easily.

 

Consistency in LED colours

Consistent Group (VLAN) colours in the web UI, Araneo, and front panel LEDs.
