As broadcast and professional AV workflows move toward IP-based infrastructure, reliable networking and simplified management are becoming increasingly important. At NAB Show New York 2026, Devan Cress, Global Business Development Director, Enterprise AV at NETGEAR, joined InBroadcast to discuss how customer feedback is shaping NETGEAR's broadcast networking solutions.
The NETGEAR M4350 switch lineup supports SMPTE ST 2110, features built-in grandmaster and boundary clock capabilities, and offers up to 100Gbps per port for high-bandwidth core switching applications.
NETGEAR also highlighted rental and staging models with ruggedized Neutrik connectors and redundant power, designed for demanding live production environments. Color-coded physical ports can display user-selected colors that match NETGEAR AV OS profiles, helping technicians identify and manage connections.
The NETGEAR Align Controller, which hosts NETGEAR Engage, adds remote management capabilities and supports third-party applications from NETGEAR's Pro AV partners.
For broadcast integrators, AV resellers, and live production professionals, these developments demonstrate how NETGEAR is addressing real-world requirements for reliable, scalable, and manageable AV-over-IP infrastructure.
