GigaCore 20t Product Overview

Product Information

10Gb Connectivity

10Gb connectivity allows full network convergence of lighting control, audio, intercom, and video.

 

PoE++

PoE++ implementation on every copper port allows you to connect any PoE device available today.

Today’s PoE standards (802.3af802.3at and 802.3bt) are all met.

GigaCore 20t can directly drive almost any IP PTZ camera, network node or PoE-powered loudspeaker on the market.

 

AV validated for real applications.

GigaCore switches are fully validated in real-world applications with major brands in the AV industry for different protocols, including NDI™, Dante™, AVB/MILAN, AES67ST-2110IPMXMA-Net, and many more.

We don’t just approve against a protocol but test it. Because of real-world application validation and interoperability testing, we understand the applications and ensure you can confidently deploy our product.

Luminex support team speaks your language and has a vast amount of AV knowledge built up, not just from talking protocols but mainly from working with you and living through your real application network challenges.

 

Robust yet silent design

robust yet silent design allows you to use GigaCore in any AV environment.

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 like theatres and studios.

 

Araneo to manage and monitor the complete system

All GigaCore switches can be managed with a single network-wide tool: Araneo.

Araneo’s online mode shows everything you need to know about the status of your GigaCore network. Data streams and topology are visualised, as is the port status of every GigaCore.

Monitor your network with confidence and act before the show gets interrupted!

In offline mode, Araneo lets you plan the complete network topology and GigaCore settings in advance. It reduces network commissioning time to a mere click of a button.

 

Intuitive web UI

The built-in web UI allows you to adjust the settings intuitively. Assigning Groups (VLANS) to ports, creating trunks or modifying other port- and PoE settings can be done on the fly, and the status page gives you an overview of the complete switch at a glance. The toolbox page allows the management of profiles and lets you upgrade firmware easily.
