Media Networking Excellence Drives the Lumens and NETGEAR AV Collaboration

The Shift to IP-Based AV

The professional AV industry’s shift toward IP-based workflows has fundamentally transformed visual communication systems, with demand for reliable, low-latency media networking driving innovation in camera technology and network infrastructure.

NETGEAR & Lumens Partnership

Our strategic partnership with Lumens combines Lumens’ cutting-edge PTZ cameras, voice-tracking technology, and IP transmitters with NETGEAR’s purpose-built media networking solutions. This collaboration demonstrates how advanced video protocols, including RTSP, NDI, and Dante AV, converge with high-performance Ethernet infrastructure to revolutionize deployments across corporate, broadcast, and live streaming environments.

Integrated AV Protocol Support

NETGEAR’s AV Line switches provide built-in support for essential professional AV protocols: AMX for control integration, NDI for collaborative IP workflows, and Dante AV-H for audio-visual transport over IP networks. This comprehensive protocol support ensures Lumens’ network-optimized cameras and transmitters deliver full performance potential.

AV-Optimized Switching

The switches deliver high-performance 1 and 10 Gigabit capabilities with specialized features that distinguish them from generic networking equipment, providing the bandwidth, timing precision, and protocol awareness necessary for professional-grade results.

Inside the Lumens IP Ecosystem

Lumens’ expanding portfolio includes: 

• AI-enabled cameras supporting RTSP, Dante AV-H and NDI protocols, outputting high-quality HD and UltraHD video at low latency while receiving control data, power and tally instructions via IP. 

• OIP Bridge AV over IP transcoders enable network-based video and audio transmission and integration with Teams and Zoom installations. 

• Multi-Camera Voice Tracking Solutions supporting IP video capture and automated video production. 

• IP-enabled multi-channel media processors with network control and built-in streaming encoders. 

Proven Network Compatibility

As authorized partners, Lumens engineers work directly with NETGEAR to ensure complete compatibility across 1G, 10G, and 100G switch portfolios through comprehensive testing and validation. This collaboration eliminates deployment uncertainties and ensures consistent performance across diverse installation scenarios.

Seamless Low-Latency Integration

The result is seamless integration, where NETGEAR’s AV Line switches integrate directly with Lumens’ IP solutions, delivering low-latency video transmission without additional protocol conversion or specialized configuration. When Lumens recommends an AV solution paired with NETGEAR AV switching infrastructure, customers receive a pre-tested, fully compatible system that delivers consistent performance from day one.
