Our GigaCore 30i is now AVNU certified

[Genk, Belgium, November 21, 2024] — Our GigaCore 30i is now AVNU certified.

The GigaCore 30i is the first-ever Pro AV Ethernet switch to pass the renewed AVNU Network Devices Certification Program.

Our engineers have worked closely with many members of the AVNU Alliance task group to implement test scripts, review code, and validate testing processes. We are proud to announce that the GigaCore 30i is now officially AVNU certified, marking a significant milestone as the first Pro AV Ethernet switch to achieve this recognition. The AVNU Certification Program guarantees seamless interoperability and compatibility within Pro AV ecosystems running AVB/MILAN applications.

Additionally, all other models in the GigaCore family are expected to receive this certification in the near future.

Luminex verlengt partnership met KRC Genk en kiest resoluut voor de fans.

Luminex verlengt partnership met KRC Genk en kiest resoluut voor de fans.

[Genk, Belgium, 29 juli 2024] — “KRC Genk Fanzone” wordt omgedoopt tot “Luminex Fanzone”.

Luminex verlengt zijn samenwerking met KRC Genk voor de komende drie jaar en wordt naampartner van de Fanzone, die voortaan de naam “Luminex Fanzone” zal dragen. Deze stap benadrukt de sterke band tussen de twee Limburgse merken, die hun samenwerking vorig seizoen lanceerden onder de campagne ‘Amazing experiences start in Genk’.

Luminex, wereldwijd bekend om zijn innovatieve technologieën voor de aansturing van licht, audio en video op grote evenementen zoals het Eurovisie Songfestival, de Olympische Spelen en Glastonbury Festival, voegt nu een nieuw element toe aan zijn partnerschap met KRC Genk.

Supporters vieren en vertoeven voortaan in Luminex Fanzone.

Als blikvanger van de vernieuwde samenwerking wordt de KRC Genk Fanzone omgedoopt tot de “Luminex Fanzone”, waarbij Luminex zich engageert om de komende drie jaar de Fanzone verder uit te bouwen en de beleving voor de fans beter te maken. Zo mogen fans in september al een eerste opwaardering verwachten. Er zal een groot ledscherm geplaatst worden, waardoor fans zowel voor de wedstrijd als in de derde helft kunnen genieten van leuke content.

Sem Franssen, Directeur Business and Development bij KRC Genk, is enthousiast over de verlenging van het partnership: “We zijn ontzettend blij dat we onze samenwerking met Luminex kunnen voortzetten en uitbreiden. Hun expertise in technologie en entertainment sluit perfect aan bij onze ambitie om onze fans de best mogelijke ervaring te bieden. De Luminex Fanzone zal een centrale rol spelen in het versterken van de band tussen de club en onze supporters.”

Ook Bart Swinnen, CEO van Luminex, is verheugd met de nieuwe en nauwere samenwerking: “Als Genkse onderneming zijn we trots om onze banden met KRC Genk te versterken. Deze samenwerking sluit naadloos aan met dat waar Luminex voor staat. Wereldwijd wordt onze technologie ingezet om unieke belevingen te creëren. Door de vernieuwing van het partnership kijken we uit naar fantastische momenten in de Luminex Fanzone.”

Gedeelde Genkse roots

Zowel Luminex als KRC Genk hebben hun wortels in Genk en delen een passie voor innovatie en kwaliteit. Beide organisaties zijn trots op hun Limburgse oorsprong en hebben zich tot doel gesteld om de regio op de wereldkaart te zetten. De gedeelde roots versterken hun samenwerking, waarbij ze niet alleen focussen op sport en entertainment, maar ook op het stimuleren van lokaal talent en de regionale economie. Met deze verlenging van het partnership en de toevoeging van de Luminex Fanzone bevestigen Luminex en KRC Genk hun toewijding aan de fans en hun gedeelde visie op een toekomst vol innovatie en onvergetelijke momenten.

Boundary clock support with GigaCore FW v1.3.1

With the release of GigaCore firmware v1.3.1, Luminex again brings an important new feature.

Boundary clock support!

Gigacore has always been PTP aware but only in end-to-end transparent mode. Now, for each Group (VLAN) individually, GigaCore can function in Boundary clock mode, following the elected grandmaster clock.
Individual communication of each timeReceiver with the timeTransmitter clock is no longer needed in this scheme.
This ensures clock stability when scaling up the network. Especially when there are a large number of devices that each depend on synchronization with their timeTransmitter clock.

This solution is ideal to scale networks based on RAVENNA, AES67,ST2110….

For ease of use, an automatic clock profile mode re-distributes the timeTransmitter parameters to the following timeReceiver devices.

For more advanced use cases, a choice of pre-defined clock profiles is available; AES67 media, SMPTE, AES SMPTE interop, 1588 default and a custom mode where the user can set all parameters as required.

v1.3.1 is now available for download from this site or, even easier, upgrade your GigaCore with this new version through Araneo!

At ISE 2024, Luminex presents the latest addition to their range of touring grade pro AV ethernet switches: GigaCore 10t and much more…

[Genk, Belgium, January 2024] – Press release – 

Luminex, the leading manufacturer of professional AV networking solutions, will be demonstrating their complete lineup including the recently released 10Gb installation and integration models

GigaCore 10i and 16i, both compact, half 19” solutions that have the PoE++ option on all copper ports.

Another brand-new model, the much-anticipated half 19” Pro AV ethernet switch GigaCore 10t, specifically designed for demanding touring applications will be on display as well on booth 7G300.

This new model is designed for professional AV touring applications and with its ruggedised connectors and a large option of equally ruggedised fibre optic connector types, GigaCore 10t deals with all possible challenges of live entertainment applications.

It is ideal for building a fully redundant A/B network in a single rack space.The switch also features two M10 inserts so it can be mounted in any rig.

Together with the GigaCore 20t,18t and 16t, GigaCore 10t marks the completion of Luminex’ touring grade GigaCore family, a range of pro AV ethernet switches that are the logical choice to make converged networking easy for each AV job.

All Luminex GigaCore ethernet switches are enabled to support converged networking out of the box. Thanks to their 10 Gb connectivity, 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 an 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 be activated on all other Groups as well. It can operate simultaneously with PTPv2 applications in a converged network on multiple groups (VLANS) as will also be demonstrated by the Luminex specialists present on booth 7G300.

With professional audio networks becoming larger, with more and more endpoint devices in setups where the grandmaster clock might be challenged with processing all individual responses, the need for a scalable and reliable distribution of these critical timing synchronization signals is growing.

Gigacore’s latest firmware update (Q2 availability) will enable vital support for PTPv2 boundary clock for the complete GigaCore family. This ensures scalability of the clock signals in larger setups without compromises.

Simultaneous use with different clocking protocols in separate Groups (VLANS) such as gPTP for AVB/MILAN and PTPv1 for Dante for example, are possible on the same network infrastructure, bringing converged networking now to a new level for extended pro AV networks as it will be demonstrated at ISE.

Finally, Luminex will also be showing new additions to the Lumicore range, The LumiCore 16 and LumiCore 32 (Q2 2024 availability) will join the ranks of LumiCore 64, offering flexibility in advanced networking with isolated VLANS that can merge input data into different outputs. These new versions ensure process engine scalability from a theatre all the way up to a large festival setup.

All in all, many reasons that make a visit to the Luminex booth worth your while!
