Marshall Electronics Links Up With NETGEAR to Power IP NDI Cameras

Marshall Electronics has partnered with NETGEAR, a provider of networking products in the professional audio/video market, to offer three of the company’s M4250 network switches as verified compatible with Marshall IP and NDI cameras. The M4250’s PoE+ and PoE++ capabilities are the ideal fit for Marshall’s cameras and controllers, providing an easy to install camera-controller-switch package solution to its integrators. Marshall and NETGEAR hardware also now support NDI5 making it easier to set-up and integrate into NDI platforms from anywhere in the world.

“Anytime Marshall has a chance to align itself with a company that manufactures game-changing products, like NETGEAR, is a big win,” says Tod Musgrave, Director of Cameras, Marshall Electronics. “We look forward to providing our customers with NETGEAR’s switches alongside our IP and NDI cameras, with verification and endorsement by NETGEAR. This collaborative partnership guarantees compatibility giving installers the assurance they need for a successful setup. Marshall customers will also gain access to NETGEAR’s ProAV Design Engineering team and a lifetime warranty on NETGEAR products. In addition, Marshall can now offer competitive pricing to integrators and local dealers on pro AV models required for IP and NDI network projects.”

NETGEAR’s AV Line of M4250 Switches maintains the same out-of-the-box AV friendly functionality found on the popular M4300 and M4500 switches. Deploying multicast AV over IP networks with the M4250 switches is a simple plug-in and turn-on operation. The new AV interface of the M4250 switch presents the common AV controls with user-selectable profiles up front, ensuring the settings are correct for specific audio or video applications. The M4250 switches are designed for clean integration with traditional rack-mounted AV equipment. The sleek, black enclosure provides port and activity status on the front panel, with all power and network cabling meticulously organized on the rear panel. The M4250 switches can also be reverse mounted in an AV rack. Additional options for mounting the switch outside a rack, such as VESA mounts, are built into the enclosure.

Marshall’s complete line of IP, SRT and NDI cameras are compatible with the NETGEAR M4250 line, including its CV605-series, CV620-series, CV630-series, CV730-series, CV420-30X-series, CV355-30X-series and its VS-PTC-IP controller.
