Introduction

Introducing the NETGEAR AV Line
of M4250 Switches, developed and
engineered for audio/video professionals
with dedicated service and support.
M4250 has been built from the ground
up for the growing AV over IP market,
combining years of networking expertise
in AV with M4300 and M4500 series with
best practices from leading experts in
the professional AV market. AV codecs
generally use 1Gbps or 10Gbps per
stream and the AV Line of M4250 targets
the widespread 1Gbps codecs.
PoE+, Ultra90 PoE++ and rear-facing ports
ensure a clean integration in AV racks.
M4250 switches come pre-configured for
standard audio and video signals. When
requirements are more specific, an AV
user interface offers customization with
port-based profiles. For audio Dante,
Q-SYS and AES67 profiles are available,
as well as an AVB profile requiring an
AVB license sold separately. For video
the M4250 offers profiles for NVX, AMX,
Q-SYS, NDI, Dante etc. as well as audio/
video/control mixed profiles. When
multiple switches are used, NETGEAR
IGMP PlusTM brings automation for you to
just connect them together, or with M4300
and M4500 switches.
