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:

• MXNet Point to Point (HDMI or Decoder Analog Out)
  • Less than or equal to 33MS or 1 Frame at 30hz
• MXNet Encoder (Non-Downmixing/2CH PCM Only)
  • Less than or equal to 1MS
• 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.

(Note: This non-stackable version of our MXNet Switches does not have 10G SFP+ ports and can only send or receive one source on one 1G SFP port.)
