GigaCore 30i comes fully optimized  out of the box to be used with the most advanced  AV protocols .  Preconfigured Quality of Service  (QoS),  IGMP  multicast, and  PTPv2  settings will assure a responsive and extremely stable network environment for the most demanding time-critical audio protocols like Dante™, AES67, Q-SYS, and many more.

With up to 1000W of total PoE budget and  PoE++  on every copper port, this GigaCore switch can drive any IP PTZ camera or loudspeaker on the market today.

GigaCore 30i  is the ideal solution for AV networks in fixed  installations ,  integration  and  touring  for lighting, audio, and video.

1Gb Connectivity
A range of 1Gb versions is available as well with identical PoE and redundancy features. 

PoE++
PoE++ implementation on every copper port allows you to connect any PoE device available today.

Today’s PoE standards (802.3af, 802.3at and 802.3bt) are all met.
GigaCore 30i can directly drive any IP PTZ camera, network nodes or PoE powered loudspeaker on the market.

AV validated for real applications
GigaCore switches are fully validated in real-world applications with major brands in the AV industry for different protocols, including NDI™, Dante™, AES67, ST-2110, IPMX, MA-Net, and many more.

Robust yet silent design
A robust yet silent design allows you to use GigaCore in any AV environment.

Fans are speed controlled to have minimal noise impact and guarantee a long-life operation.
This allows you to place the GigaCore in even the most quiet environments like theaters and studio’s.
