The GWN7800 Pro Series is a new generation of managed network switches designed to create secure, reliable, and high-performance business networks. It now comes with built-in Pro AV features that make audio and video deployments easier and more efficient. These features help improve network performance, simplify management, and ensure smooth operation for AV applications. In this blog, we explore the key Pro AV features and how they can help optimize your network setup.
GWN7800 Pro Series Pro-AV Features
Introducing the GWN7800 Pro Series Pro AV Features – a powerful set of tools designed to enhance professional audio and video networking. Built for modern AV environments, the GWN7800 Pro Series combines intelligent traffic management, built-in AV presets, SDVoE support, and an easy-to-use graphical interface to simplify deployment and improve performance.
New Visual Graphic Interface
The GWN7800 Pro Series Network Switch comes with a new, easy-to-use graphical interface that can be accessed directly on the device or through GDMS. With this interface, you can quickly configure AV settings for each port. Simply select a port and apply presets for AES67, Dante, or NDI. This makes setting up and managing professional audio and video networks faster, easier, and more efficient.
AES, Dante, and NDI Port Presets
To configure Pro AV settings, you need to select or create a template based on your audio and video requirements. The GWN7800 Pro Series includes three built-in presets: AES67, Dante, and NDI.
- AES67 is an open standard that enables smooth communication between different IP audio systems.
- Dante is a popular audio-over-IP solution known for easy setup, automatic device discovery, and centralized management.
- NDI is a protocol that allows high-quality video and audio transmission over standard IP networks.
These presets help simplify Pro AV deployments and ensure optimal performance. The interface lets you easily choose and apply AES67, Dante, and/or NDI settings to meet your specific AV needs.
Quality of Service (QoS) AV Stream Identification
The GWN7800 Pro Series now includes advanced Quality of Service (QoS) features that can quickly detect and prioritize audio and video traffic. This ensures that AV data is processed efficiently and given higher priority than regular network traffic, resulting in smooth and uninterrupted performance.
Designed for reliable 24/7 operation, the GWN7800 Pro Series is ideal for demanding environments such as performance venues, live sports events, broadcasting setups, and other professional AV applications where consistent network performance is critical.
SDVoE
The GWN7800 Pro Series also supports SDVoE, a technology that allows audio and video signals to be transmitted over standard Ethernet networks. This helps simplify AV network design while improving flexibility, control, and overall system performance.
With SDVoE, users can take advantage of virtual matrix switching, making it easier to manage, route, and control connected AV devices from a single platform. It also works with existing network infrastructure, eliminating the need for a separate dedicated AV network.
The GWN7800 Pro Series comes with powerful Pro AV features designed to improve audio and video deployments of all sizes. Its new user-friendly graphical interface makes configuring and managing AV networks simple and efficient.
Built-in templates such as AES67, Dante, and NDI help users quickly set up the right AV environment for their needs. Advanced QoS features automatically identify and prioritize audio and video traffic, ensuring smooth and reliable performance. In addition, SDVoE support simplifies network architecture and provides greater flexibility for managing AV systems.
With these capabilities, the GWN7800 Pro Series delivers a reliable, high-performance AV experience for businesses, events, broadcasting, and other professional applications.
