A pre-configured ethernet switch designed for AV system integrations, perfect for fixed installations.

N

Tailored for AV industry

Pre-configured settings that are common in the AV industry, such as QoS and IGMP snooping.

N

Easy set-up

Easy group function with pre-configured VLAN’s for a quick set-up (without IT knowledge).

N

Ideal for fixed installations

Designed for fixed installations in buildings, theaters, cruise ships, theme parks …

N

Converged networking

Transfer multiple protocols (Dante™, RAVENNA/AES67®, ArtNet, MANet 1&2, sACN,Q-LAN …)

N

Ultimate link redundancy

RLinkX redundancy protocol automatically takes over signal in milliseconds in case of a link failure.

N

With or without PoE+

Don’t worry about power plugs anymore. PoE+ powers-up all compatible devices within the network.

N

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 visualized as are the port status of every GigaCore. Monitor your network with confidence and act before the show gets interrupted!

In the Offline mode, Araneo lets you plan in advance the complete network topology and all Gigacore settings. Reducing network commissioning time to a mere click of a button

Focus on being creative again.

Stop wasting time on programming your network or rely on someone else to do it for you. With Luminex GigaCore switches and only some basic AV knowledge, you can do it all by yourself in just the blink of an eye. Now you can finally focus on your core business as an AV technician or designer: “being creative”!

Same technology, different applications.

The GigaCore 26i has considerably more ports than all its predecessors in the GigaCore range. This high port density switch (24x RJ45 and 6x SFP) is designed to offer more capacity for large system integrations such as theaters, concert halls, convention centers, sports arenas, studios, cruise ships, theme parks, hotels, houses of worship and other fixed installations.

When distance matters: Fiber to the rescue.

The GigaCore 26i provides users with six SFP cages for Fiber connectivity. Just connect a multimode or single mode Fiber transceiver to each cage and it will enable you to cover greater distances with a total link immunity up to 10km!
