Power Up Your Savings and Power Down Your AV for a Greener Tomorrow

Posted on 26 August 2024

PoE Control Drivers for NETGEAR® Switches are now available

New drivers are now available for our Pro Series control systems enabling NAV® endpoint PoE control on NETGEAR® AVoIP switches. Global Configurator® control system software lets you create powerful, versatile, and energy efficient NAV systems and slash power consumption by powering down NAV encoders and decoders when they are not in use. Using the new drivers, PoE can be turned on or off for each port of the NETGEAR switch based on time of day, occupancy, or other criteria. Global Configurator works with TouchLink® Pro touchpanels, IPCP Pro xi Series control processors, NETGEAR AVoIP switches, along with NAVigator and NAV encoders and decoders to create flexible designs.

NAV systems can be deployed as a high-performance IP-based video and audio matrix, combining the flexibility of an IP-based system with the integration-friendly features found in Extron conventional matrix switchers. Purpose-built to support demanding professional AV applications, the highly scalable and powerful NAV platform enables secure distribution of AV signals to thousands of endpoints.

NAV Pro AV over IP
The Only Solution Designed for the Enterprise Network

NAV® is the only no-compromise Pro AV over IP solution for distribution and switching of ultra-low latency, high quality video and audio signals over an Ethernet network at low bitrates. It delivers groundbreaking performance with real-time, lossless video over IP at resolutions up to 4K @ 60 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma sampling and ultra-low latency. The NAV Series is the only solution that offers both 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps encoders and decoders while providing full interoperability across both systems. NAV can be deployed as a high-performance IP-based video and audio matrix, combining the flexibility of an IP-based system with the integration-friendly video and audio switching features found in Extron conventional matrix switchers.
