NETGEAR at SALT 2026: AV Networking Built for the Show

Join SoundPro and NETGEAR in The SoundPro Main Stage Experience at SALT 2026 on Thursday, October 15 at 11:00am. Great audio, video, and lighting all ride on the network, and NETGEAR AV Line switches are built for exactly that job. The M4250 series handles 1Gbps AV over IP workflows with PoE+ power for cameras and endpoints, while the M4350 series scales from 1G up to 100G with redundant power supplies and 25G and 100G uplinks. Pre-configured profiles for Dante, AES67, NDI, and more, plus IGMP Plus for multicast that works out of the box, mean less time fighting the network and more time on the production.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What makes an AV over IP network switch different from a regular office switch?

    AV streams like Dante audio and NDI video are multicast heavy, and a standard switch can flood your whole network with them. NETGEAR AV Line switches ship with pre-configured AV profiles and IGMP Plus, so multicast works out of the box and your traffic stays where it belongs. Ports come ready for standard audio and video signals, and a dedicated AV interface lets you assign profiles by port instead of digging through enterprise menus.

  • Can the NETGEAR Engage Controller manage multiple AV switches across a big install?

    It can. The Engage Controller manages M4250, M4300, and M4350 switches from one place, and Auto-LAG and Auto-Trunk automatically configure uplinks when you connect switches together. The AV profiles are certified by more than 200 AV manufacturers, and the NETGEAR Pro AV Design team is available to help with system design and implementation on larger projects.

  • NETGEAR M4250 vs M4350: which AV Line switch do I need?

    Think scale. The M4250 is engineered for the widespread 1Gbps codecs and comes in compact PoE+ models like the 8 port M4250-9G1F-PoE+ and the 24 port M4250-26G4XF-PoE+ with a 480W PoE budget. The M4350 brings enterprise class hardware with redundant power supplies and 25G and 100G uplinks, and it works as a standalone platform or at the aggregation layer with M4250 switches at the edge.

  • Are the M4250 and M4350 a good fit for classrooms, auditoriums, and campus AV?

    They are. Compact PoE+ M4250 models can sit in a classroom or AV closet to power cameras, displays, and endpoints, while the M4350 supports edge to core connectivity, stacking, and spine and leaf designs for bigger buildings. Select M4350 models also support SMPTE ST 2110, so the same AV interface covers everything from a simple lecture capture setup to a full broadcast style environment.

  • Will a NETGEAR AV switch handle our Dante audio and NDI cameras for livestreaming and overflow rooms?

    Yes, that is the sweet spot. M4250 switches include port profiles for Dante, AES67, and NDI, plus PoE+ to power PTZ cameras, access points, and decoders straight from the switch. That makes it easier to add cameras, feed overflow rooms, and keep audio, video, and lighting on one reliable network without rebuilding your infrastructure every time the ministry grows.

  • What do IGMP Plus, Auto-LAG, and Auto-Trunk actually do?

    IGMP Plus sets up multicast so AV over IP streams do not flood the network, and it lets switches be connected without extra configuration. Auto-LAG and Auto-Trunk automatically configure the uplinks between multiple switches, so you can scale from one switch to many without hand building link aggregation. M4250 switches also support PTPv2 for media timing, which matters for synchronized audio and video.
