AVPro Edge AC-MXNET-SW10

The MXNet 10 Port Network Switch is the center from which all other MXNet Ecosystem platform components revolve. The AC-MXNET-SW10 (and AC-MXNET-SW24, AC-MXNET-SW48) packs a serious A/V performance punch with AVPro Edge’s proprietary design and engineering efforts. The AC-MXNET-SW10 includes a new AVPro developed network switch operating system (NOS) designed to reduce multicast processor loads and adds unique AVPro developed Intelligent A/V Processing (IAVP) technologies for more efficient multicast routing.

The AC-MXNET-SW10 Network Switch is only one part of the MXNet Ecosystem that includes Encoders, Network Switches, Control Processors, and other various components designed to facilitate building a custom A/V distribution system. MXNets Ecosystem includes formatting such as resolution scaling, complete EDID management, multifaceted video walls, and contains the MXNet MENTOR setup and control tool. MENTOR makes installations easy on the integrator while also presenting a major WOW factor for your client.

Key benefits of using AC-MXNET-SW10:

Fast Switching – Enjoy almost instant source-to-source switching to any receiving endpoint. On average, MXNet switches between the same timing and resolution sources in less than 2 seconds with zero black frames when the scaling setting is on.

Low Latency – The average latency time between audio and video onset is around 35ms. Anything 40ms or less is invisible to human eyes and ears. We tested latency thoroughly and found that different signal types can play a role in latency: 
 

1. MXNet Point to Point (HDMI or Decoder Analog Out)
   • Less than or equal to 33MS or 1 Frame at 30hz
2. MXNet Encoder (Non-Downmixing/2CH PCM Only) 
   • Less than or equal to 1MS
3. MXNet Encoder (AVDM)
   • Less than or close to 60MS
   • 60MS is achieved only when downmixing high bit rate audio (Dolby TrueHD or DTS Master Audio), usually less. Anything less than 100MS is considered unnoticeable.

IAVP (Intelligent A/V Processing) – We re-engineered and optimized every system module that impacts multicast processing. That includes a complete reworking of IGMP, Jumbo Frames, Spanning Tree, and multicast filtering.

MXNet NOS (Network Operating System) – Multicast CPU utilization has been entirely reworked, resulting in excellent efficiencies. Processor loads will never exceed 40% even when the switch is fully populated. System boot times take 1 min 45 sec from cold power up to full functionality, including POE device power-up.
