NDI Network Switch

If you are looking for the best network switch to buy for an NDI video production setup… you need to check out NETGEAR’s M4250 professional swtiches. NETGEAR’s new M4250 ProAV line of network switches are ideal for video production and ProAV applications in part because of their easy configuration options. NETGEAR has designed multiple profiles for us with NDI and other IP video production standards such as DANTE to make life easier when you are setting up a complete AV system.

Network switches designed for NDI

One thing you may enjoy about the M4250 network switches is that all the ports are on the back allowing you to create amazing-looking systems when rack mounted. These network switches are very easy to mount because you can mount them with the included reserve mounting hardware or you can use the thread holes on the front and bottom for mounting these switches behind a monitor or under a conference room table.

When it comes to the technical details of networking NETGEAR takes the complicated parts out of the puzzle. The M4250 switches feature Auto-LAG and Auto-Trunk capabilities that make expanding your M4250 switch network a breeze. No more need for complicated, tedious Link Aggregation or Trunk configuration. And of course, these switches support PoE, PoE+, and PoE ++ capabilities. This means a single port can power up to 90 Watts/port for powering all kinds of IP cameras, speakers, and more devices.

M4250 Details

• Easy configuration with an AV-centric GUI: The new AV GUI uses a profile-based configuration so all you have to do is to click on a profile, select the ports and you are ready to go.  No more wading through a 20 page configuration guide and possibly making a mistake along the way.
• Designed for AV Racks:  Finally a network switch with ports in the back and a sleek design to look good in an AV rack.  Reverse mounting hardware is included if you need them in the front, too.
