The GigaCore 30i is an Ethernet switch dedicated to AV integration, installation and touring, designed to
support the most advanced AV protocols.
In combination with the Araneo software platform, GigaCore 30i is the ideal solution to deploy an entire AV
network with one click in any fixed installation.
Each GigaCore can be configured through an intuitive built-in AV Web-UI but also, System-wide consistent
management across the Luminex network is possible with the Araneo network monitoring, planning and
management software. Araneo will boost your productivity and confidence in the network and reduce
commissioning times significantly.
GigaCore 30i is an indispensable part of any AV network where reliability and a quick and easy setup are
needed.
As a user, you don’t need to make choices nor trade-offs as GigaCore handles most AV protocols for you
out of the box: Pre-defined QoS/DiffServ (Quality of Service) settings, optimized IGMP (Internet Group
Management Protocol) per group (VLAN) and pre-defined yet editable groups (VLANs) to easily separate
your network in different applications making converged networks obvious, easy and reliable. Also
included out of the box is the advanced, automated redundancy protocol RLinkX that ensures redundant
links and ring topology within your GigaCore network.
Bandwidth, connectivity, and port availability are not an issue anymore with 6 x independent SFP+ ports
capable of data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps (depending on the model) and 24 x 1Gbps copper ports.
Time synchronization is crucial in many applications and with GigaCore 30i you have a hassle free PTPv2
enabled switch which will work for most major audio protocols (e.g. AES67, ST2110, Dante , Q-sys/Q-lan,
…) without the need for making any complicated device settings.
Entertainment installations constantly push the limits, and the need to deploy PoE powered devices is
continuously increasing. GigaCore 30i provides an answer to these scenarios by offering PoE++ on all ports
(90W per port with a total PoE budget of up to 1000W ) as an option.
With 2 available slots to accept optional hot swappable slide-in power supply units, the question of
redundant power is solved in one and the same 1U rack space.
Great care has been taken to ensure silent operation by means of intelligent fan control, giving you more
install options with peace of mind that no live audience or recording session would be disturbed.
For installations where a clean front panel is required, an optional 19” flush mount LED panel can be
connected to a rear-mounted GigaCore 30i.
A few examples of applications where the GigaCore 30i can be used:
Large system integrations
Theaters
Concert halls
Convention centers
Sports arenas
Broadcast and recording studios and OB vans
Cruise ships
Theme parks
Hospitality installs (hotels etc)
Houses of worship
And other fixed installations
