Planet AVS-4210-24HP4X

8-Port 10/100/1000T 802.3bt PoE + 16-Port 10/100/1000T 802.3at PoE + 4-Port 10G SFP+ Managed AV Switch

 

Optimized Integration for Professional AV Applications

Planet’s latest innovation, AVS-4210-24HP4X, is specifically designed for the evolving needs of the Professional AV industry. It is a Layer 2/4 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+/PoE++ switch equipped with 24 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 ports and 4 10G SFP+ slots for higher uplink bandwidth. In the realm of Power over Ethernet (PoE), the AVS-4210-24HP4X offers robust IEEE802.3bt PoE++ output on Ports 1-8, perfect for high-powered AV devices, while simultaneously providing IEEE802.3at PoE+ support on Ports 9-24, making it versatile for a wide range of applications. The switch boasts a total 450-watt PoE budget, establishing it as a robust powerhouse capable of efficiently supplying power to a range of devices like cameras, speakers and displays in the Pro AV applications.

 

 

Enhanced Cable Management and Aesthetics for AV Racks

Traditional switches used in AV racks were not designed with the AV industry’s specific needs in mind, resulting in inconvenient cable management and difficult multitasking for both installers and users. This was further compounded by a visual inconsistency, as the cabling of other Pro AV devices, such as amplifiers and media players, is typically located at the back, in contrast to the front-facing cabling of the traditional switches. Planet’s Pro AV switch addresses these issues by repositioning the RJ45 ports and display panel, enhancing both cable management and aesthetic appeal.

 

 

Streamline AV-over-IP Streaming with Simplified, Intuitive Web UI Configuration 

Traditional switches typically require advanced networking know-how for AV-over-IP streaming, presenting a significant hurdle. Planet’s innovative AV switch, on the other hand, boasts a simplified, intuitive web interface, facilitating effortless adjustments to basic settings and enabling rapid AV-over-IP system deployment. This reduces the reliance on extensive technical skills, broadening access to AV networking. Additionally, it retains the standard switch setting UI, providing flexibility for users with a strong grasp of networking.

 

 

 

Ready-to-Use Multicast Management

IGMP snooping and MLD snooping are available immediately upon powering up the Pro AV switch. This feature ensures efficient management of multicast traffic, a critical aspect in AV networks where multiple streams of content are often delivered simultaneously. By pre-configuring these settings, the switch can intelligently manage bandwidth and optimize network performance, ensuring high-quality, uninterrupted audiovisual experiences.

 

Popular Pre-configured Audiovisual IP Networking Protocol

Planet’s Pro AV switch seamlessly integrates key Audio/Video IP Networking Protocols like Dante and NDI, enabling effortless plug-and-play functionality. This eliminates the complexity of configuring protocols, streamlining the setup process.

 

Dante is widely used in professional audio settings like live sound in residential AV systems, recording studios, broadcast, and commercial installations, allowing for flexible and scalable audio networking without the need for traditional, heavy multi-core audio cables. It supports various audio channels and can handle complex setups with ease, making it a popular choice in the AV industry.

 

On the other hand, NDI is designed to be easy to use and accessible, supporting multiple video standards and resolutions. It is particularly popular in broadcast and live event production due to its efficiency and flexibility, allowing for the easy setup and reconfiguration of video networks without the need for extensive cabling or specialized infrastructure. Planet’s Pro AV switch is designed to be compatible with NDI protocol.

 

Power-over-Ethernet for Flexibility and Remote Control

In modern Pro AV setups, using PoE for devices such as microphones, speakers, and displays offers ease of installation and enhanced flexibility. Planet’s intelligent PoE management, including PD Alive Check, can automatically detect and restart non-responsive devices, simplifying maintenance and improving efficiency and convenience.

 

Link Aggregation & 10G SFP+ Connectivity on High-bandwidth Networks

In Pro AV applications, scenarios often demand high-bandwidth connectivity, such as video streaming or transferring large video files across multiple switches in studio, theater or auditorium setups. Link aggregation plays a vital role in these scenarios, ensuring that networks can manage high traffic loads efficiently without experiencing bottlenecks which is crucial for maintaining the quality and consistency of AV streams. Employing Link Aggregation technology alongside 10G SFP+ connectivity offers an unparalleled, streamlined experience, enhancing efficiency and performance in ways previously unimagined.

 

Robust Layer 2 Features

The AVS-4210-24HP4X can be programmed for advanced switch management functions such as dynamic port link aggregation, 802.1Q VLAN and Q-in-Q VLAN, Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP), loop and BPDU guard, IGMP snooping, and MLD snooping. Via the link aggregation, the AVS-4210-24HP4X allows the operation of a high-speed trunk to combine with multiple ports, and supports fail-over as well.  Also, the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is the Layer 2 protocol included to help discover basic information about neighboring devices on the local broadcast domain.

 

 

Remote Management Solution

PLANET’s Universal Network Management System (UNI-NMS) and CloudNMS apps support IT staff by remotely managing all network devices and monitoring PDs’ operational statuses. Thus, they’re designed for both the enterprises and industries where deployments of PDs can be as remote as possible, without having to go to the actual location once a bug or faulty condition is found. With the UNI-NMS or CloudNMS app, all kinds of businesses can now be speedily and efficiently managed from one platform.

 

 

PLANET CloudNMS – Cloud-Based Universal Network Management

PLANET’s CloudNMS platform and mobile app empower IT staff to remotely manage all network devices and Powered Devices (PDs) in real time. Designed for enterprises and industries, CloudNMS minimizes the need for on-site troubleshooting by providing centralized monitoring, fault detection, and instant alerts.

With CloudNMS, businesses can manage diverse network deployments more efficiently, securely, and intelligently—all from a single cloud-based platform.
