The blog post by AV Network discusses the recent partnership between NETGEAR and Panasonic Connect, focusing on the interoperability of the Panasonic Connect KAIROS IT/IP platform with NETGEAR’s M4350 series ST 2110-capable switches. The KAIROS platform is highlighted as an IT/IP solution for live production, offering professionals control over content delivery for broadcast, large screen displays, and live streams. With the addition of ST 2110, KAIROS enhances its input/output flexibility and content creation capabilities through GPU/CPU processing.
NETGEAR’s AV-oriented switches, particularly the M4350 series, are designed to simplify network configurations for broadcast and Pro AV integrators. The NETGEAR AV OS provides a template-based approach, reducing the learning curve associated with network setup. The M4350 series switches feature enterprise-class hardware with redundant power supplies, PoE capabilities, and easy setup managed by the NETGEAR Engage Controller. Additionally, the switches support various audio, video, and lighting protocols, including SMPTE ST 2110, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of systems.
Tod Musgrave, senior broadcast BDM at NETGEAR, emphasizes the ease of configuration provided by NETGEAR’s platform, making it an ideal choice for broadcast and Pro AV engineers transitioning to IP workflows. The interoperability between NETGEAR switches and the Panasonic KAIROS system is touted as a significant milestone in advancing AV-over-IP solutions for the industry.
