TheGigaCore 16tis a1 Gigabit Ethernetswitch forprofessional touring applicationsin lighting, audio and video with a frequent tear-down & built-up requirement or for any other application whereruggedizedconnectivity is necessary.

It is designed to support the mostadvanced AV protocolsout of the box and is the backbone for a converged network, allowingmultiple applicationsto co-exist on thesame network.

The combination of GigaCore 16t and Araneo software platform is the ideal solution to deploy an entire AV network in just a few clicks. Each GigaCore switch can be configured by an intuitive built-in AV Web UI.

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.

Todays PoE standards (802.3af,802.3atand802.3bt) are all met.GigaCore 16t can directly drive almost any IPPTZ camera, networknodeorPoE powered loudspeakeron the market.

AV validated for real applications

GigaCore switches are fully validated inreal-world applicationswith major brands in theAV industryfor different protocols, includingNDI,Dante,AVB/MILAN,AES67,ST-2110,IPMX,MA-Net, and many more.

We dont just approve against a protocol but actually test it. Because of real world application validation andinteroperabilitytesting, we understand the applications and make sure you can deploy our product withconfidence.

Luminexsupportteam reallyspeaks your languageand has a vast amount ofAV knowledgebuilt up, not just from talking protocols but mainly from working with you and living through yourreal application network challenges.

Robust yet silent design

Arobustyetsilentdesign allows you touseGigaCorein any AV environment.

Fans arespeed controlledto haveminimal noiseimpact and guarantee along-life operation.This allows you to place the GigaCore in themost quiet environmentslike theaters and studios.

Araneo to manage and monitor the complete system

All GigaCore switches can be managed with a singlenetwork-widetool: Araneo

Araneosonlinemode shows everything you need to know about thestatusof your GigaCore network. Data streams and topology arevisualizedas are the port status of every GigaCore.

Monitor your network with confidence andact beforethe show gets interrupted!

Inofflinemode, Araneo lets youplanthe complete network topology and GigaCore settingsin advance. Reducing networkcommissioningtimeto a mere click of a button.

Intuitive web UI

Thebuilt-in web UIallows you to adjust the settings in an intuitive way. AssigningGroups(VLANS) to ports, creatingtrunksor adjusting other port- and PoE settings can be done on the fly and the status page gives you anoverviewof the complete switch at a glance. The toolbox page allows management of profiles and lets you upgrade firmware easily.

Consistency in LED colours

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