Designed specifically for live events and touring with advanced AV protocols, the GigaCore 16T 16-Port Gigabit EtherCon / RJ45 Managed AV Switch from Luminex allows you to smoothly manage your lighting, video, and audio network. Validated for professional applications such as Dante, NDI, and AES67, the front panel includes four Gigabit EtherCon connectors with four more on the rear panel alongside eight Gigabit speed RJ45 ports. All 16 ports are PoE++ compliant, providing up to 90W of power to compatible devices such as PTZ security cameras, loudspeakers, and network nodes.

The ruggedized design makes the GigaCore 16T ideal for frequent tear down and build-up requirements. Two cooling fans help to maintain optimal performance with a 168 Gb/s switching capacity while producing minimal noise.

GigaCore switches are fully validated with major brands for different protocols, including NDI, Dante, AVB/MILAN, AES67, ST-2110, IPMX, MA-Net, and more.

Each of the 16 copper ports provide up to 90W of power to PoE compatible devices with a total budget of 500W.

The two 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 such as theaters and studios.

GigaCore switches can be managed using the Araneo tool. Araneo's online mode shows what you need to know about your network, with visualized data streams, topology, and port statuses. In offline mode, you can plan the complete network topology and settings in advance.

Q: 2. Can I control this camera with Cat6 PoE Cable and control it with a Mac computer running Telestream's Wirecast application?

A: Yes. The following unit offers POE. In order to drive the system you can control the unit via IR Remote Control " enclosed with purchase" or AViPAS AV-3104 3D Keyboard Controller " separate purchase" BH #AV3104V2 • MFR #AV-3104 https://bhpho.to/3kneB8B

Q: 3. can this camera be Daisy Chained and if so, what is necessary?

A: You can daisy-chain the AViPAS AV-1281 for camera control. You will need to use an 8-pin male to male cascade cable and go from the RS-232 OUT of one camera to the RS-232 IN of another camera.

Q: 4. Our camera is 75' from the platform. will this camer zoom that far without distortion?

A: I would consider a 20x or 30x PTZ camera based on the ranges that you work and need to zoom. https://bhpho.to/3LOVCiF

Q: 5. Does it come with a mount?

A: No it does not.

Q: 6. Is the IR remote the only way to control it? Is other software included for control over LAN?

A: Along with the IR remote you will also be able to connect this camera to your network and control it with PTZOptics 4D IP Joystick Controller (GEN3), B&H # PTJOYG3. This camera and the remote use Visca over IP protocols.

Q: 7. if I need to install this camera like 100 ft far from my switcher and the controller wich cables do I need to add to my cart?

A: Kopul Premium Series 3G-SDI Cable (100 ft) BH #KOVBBC4100 • MFR #VBBC-4100 https://bhpho.to/3oyvJeO

Q: 8. Hi I am wondering how smooth the PT movements are. Does the "step motor" mean it moves in noticeable steps or is it a smooth motion. Would it be realistic to incorporate the PT move in the video broadcast or is it just for repositioning the camera while not to line? Thanks.

A: The pan/tilt/zoom mechanism uses an accurate step driving motor and functions quiet and smooth.

Q: 9. Will the cameras 1080i / 59.94 SDI output resolution work with 1st generation of Black Magic ATEM switcher?

A: If you are referring to the original Blackmagic Television Studio Production Switcher then yes, it will work. That switcher required a 1080i59.94 setting from the camera, which this camera offers.

Q: 10. If I plug in audio via the 3.5mm cable, will it embed into the SDI out with the video?

A: Yes, that is precisely the function of that 3.5mm audio input.
