Networking

Networking brings together network equipment for professional infrastructures that carry IP data and AV flows. In the AG Multivision catalogue, this category includes routers, network switches, AV switches and dedicated networking accessories. These solutions are suitable for AV-over-IP systems, control rooms, meeting rooms, corporate environments and digital-signage infrastructures. The aim is not to choose a single product in isolation, but to size and configure the network as an integral part of the AV system, reducing congestion and problems caused by multicast or high-bandwidth traffic. For this reason, when selecting a solution it is useful to consider number and speed of ports, uplinks, PoE requirements, VLANs, multicast support, switching capacity, management functions, redundancy and the requirements of the AV-over-IP platform.

What solutions are available in this category? The selection is designed for professional applications and includes the main options needed to build or complete the system: routers, network switches, AV switches and dedicated networking accessories. The choice should therefore be based on the required function, the installation environment and the equipment the product needs to interface with.

How do you choose the most suitable solution? Before purchasing, it is advisable to check number and speed of ports, uplinks, PoE requirements, VLANs, multicast support, switching capacity, management functions, redundancy and the requirements of the AV-over-IP platform. In a ProAV project, compatibility between components, cabling, the network, mounting systems and display devices is often just as important as the individual technical specification.

Which categories can help complete the project? To explore complementary components, you can browse video signal management, data signal management and cables and adapters. These links help move from a single device to a complete solution that is consistent with the intended environment.
