[Genk, Belgium, 18 Aug 2023] — Press Release – Luminex will be exhibiting at IBC Amsterdam this year, from 15-18 Sept.
As a network technology leader in the AV industry, Luminex will be demonstrating a new version of Araneo, version 1.7.0 and two new additions to our GigaCore ethernet switch range.
The GigaCore 10i and GigaCore 16i.
Featuring 10G connectivity, unique redundancy options and a high port count in a compact ½ 19” format, these versions are ideally suited for compact installation setups in audio, video and broadcasting applications.
These developments mark another step forward in converged networking, to seamlessly integrate lighting, audio and video data all into one single network infrastructure. This solution has large potential to simplify the way that studio and broadcast professionals work, by providing a more efficient and cost-effective way to manage AV systems.
Converged networking is the coexistence of multiple disciplines in the same infrastructure without making compromises. This requires integration of multiple applications, such as lighting, video, and audio, onto one single network making the most efficient use of your infrastructure investments and providing better control and coordination of the various protocols. It is becoming increasingly important in the AV industry as it allows for better and seamless integration and a unified experience for its users, regardless of manufacturer, device, or technology.
Luminex GigaCore is a range of Ethernet network switches that is developed to support converged AV networking. The GigaCore switch range, with its latest additions, the GigaCore 10i and 16i, is fully validated in real-world applications and with devices from major brands in the AV industry. This with a multitude of protocols, including AVB/Milan, NDI™, Dante™, AES67, ST-2110, IPMX, MA-Net, sACN and many more. GigaCore technology allows you to run multiple time sensitive (PTP v1/2, gPTP) protocols simultaneously on the same network infrastructure without compromises and more important, without any IT configuration or knowledge needed.
Luminex Araneo, a network-wide AV management software, allows for monitoring and configuration of AV networks, including trouble shooting. Araneo also provides a complete and interactive overview of a GigaCore network, showing connections between devices, data flows and potential problems in a simple graphical manner.
The latest version of Araneo v1.7.0 has interesting new features especially for Lighting professionals and comes with further integration of MA3 devices, visualizing MANet data flow between MA devices and graphically displaying Session subscriptions and ID’s.
Araneo also has a unique health check feature that provides an extra layer of assurance in performance and consistency of the network. This feature allows users to easily identify and resolve network issues by automatically checking several critical parameters such as VLAN ID’s, IGMP settings, Group names, firmware versions and more, giving confidence to the user that all settings on all individual switches inside the network are consistent to one another.
“We are excited to offer Araneo and our new GigaCore models as THE ideal and unique AV networking solution combo to our customers,” said Bart Swinnen, Founder and CEO of Luminex Network Intelligence. “This solution provides the perfect combination for converged networking in the AV industry, ensuring a high-quality experience for users and making it easier and more cost efficient for AV professionals to manage and control AV networked devices.”
At our booth, visitors will be able to experience a fully converged AV network with Araneo and GigaCore switches operating together with many industry-standard devices and learn about its user friendliness and other benefits. We look forward to seeing you at IBC and to demonstrating our products to you.

[Genk, Belgium, 5th of June 2023] — Luminex, the leading manufacturer of professional AV networking solutions, launches no less than 5 new models at infocomm 2023. Two new GigaCore switches designed for installation and integration; The GigaCore 10i and GigaCore 16i.On their booth #5473, Luminex also presents and demonstrates three new touring-grade professional AV switches joining its range of easy to operate ethernet switches, namely the GigaCore 20t and GigaCore 18t, both 10Gb switches, and a 1Gb version as well; the GigaCore 16t.
“These new models are specifically designed for professional AV installation and integration applications found in theaters, Studio’s, OB-vans, Board rooms, etc. and come with all features the GigaCore family is well known for in the Professional AV market.
Together with the well accepted, GigaCore 30i, our first 10Gb switch that we launched successfully last year, and with the three new touring grade models with rugedised connectivity, presented here at Infocomm, they further complete the GigaCore family, a range of pro AV ethernet switches that make converged networking easy for all AV integrations” says Bart Swinnen, Founder and CEO of Luminex.
GigaCore 10i and 16i at a Glance
GigaCore 10i and 16i, both half-19” wide with additional flexibility in the form of 100x100mm vesa-spaced mount points, are an excellent choice for fixed installation and integration applications with specific requirements to port count, available space, mounting or redundancy. Units can be combined into one rack space to provide a high port count or redundant setup. With port speeds up to 10 Gigabit and PoE++ options, the newly added models are made to meet the most stringent demands in these applications.
GigaCore 20t, 18t, and 16t at a Glance
GigaCore 20t, 18t, and 16t are built for touring professionals in the event production and entertainment industry who require reliable and robust networking equipment with port speeds up to 10 Gigabit and PoE++ options, these switches are made to meet the demands of touring, featuring a ruggedized construction and connectivity built to withstand the rigors of transport, set-up, and tear-down.
All of Luminex’s GigaCore ethernet switches are dedicated to converged networking out of the box. Now with 10Gb connectivity options, the GigaCore range allows full network convergence of audio, lighting, intercom, (compressed) video and more. Pre-configured Quality of Service (QoS), IGMP multicast, and PTPv2 settings will assure a responsive and extremely stable network environment for the most demanding time-critical audio protocols like Dante™, AES67, Q-SYS, and many others. Furthermore AVB/MILAN is supported out of the box on the management group (VLAN) and can operate simultaneously with the aforementioned PTPV2 applications in a converged network on multiple Groups (VLANS). Without the need of any IT knowledge and without having to make compromises.
