Fast Switching – Virtually undetectable, two seconds or less source-to-source switching to endpoints with no content-free black frames. 

Low Latency – A/V onset timing of 70 ms or less is below the threshold of human perception. MXnet SW series switches integrated into the MXnet Ecosystem average system latency at around 35 ms. However, varying signal types contribute to latency times. Internal tests conducted by AVPro reveal the following latency measurements:

• MXnet Point to Point (HDMI or Decoder Analog Out)

  • Less than or equal to 33 ms (1fps)

   

• MXnet Encoder (Non-Downmixing/2CH PCM Only)

  • Less than or equal to 1 ms

   

• MXnet Encoder (AVDM)
  • Less than or equal to 60 ms
     

60 ms is achieved when downmixing High-Bitrate Audio, such as Dolby TrueHD or DTS Master Audio, though latency times are typically less. Latency averaging 70 ms or less is considered imperceptible; however, this is dependent on each individual’s audible and visual acuity.   

IAVP (Intelligent A/V Processing) – Each network switch module subset affecting multicast processing has been carefully re-engineered. IGMP, Jumbo Frames, Spanning Tree, and multicast filtering are fully optimized for efficient network transmission. 

MXnet NOS (Network Operating System) – Multicast CPU utilization has been completely reworked for high efficiency.  Processor loads never exceed 40%, even when the AC-MXNET-SW24 is fully populated. System boot times average

1 minute and 45 seconds from a cold start to complete functionality, including POE device power-up.
