10-Gigabit/Multi-Gigabit switches for flexible deployment in high-capacity networks

Enhancing backbone networks has become crucial for businesses, concert halls, and other installations due to the rising demand for high-quality video and audio with low latency. By introducing switches that support 10-Gigabit/Multi-Gigabit Ethernet, our new lineup creates an ideal environment for backbone networks requiring high speeds, capacities, and capabilities. These new L3 intelligent switches support systems handling increased media traffic across multiple segments, while our L2 switches are perfect for transmitting single-segment audio and video media. Like our other existing products, this expanded lineup is also supported by Yamaha LAN Monitor and includes a range of features optimized for Dante systems.

One-click Optimization

Selecting the SDVoE profile in the Web GUI will automatically update the switch’s IGMP snooping settings to optimize them for SDVoE.

With one click, ProAV Settings in the Web GUI effortlessly assigns settings to ports for major ProAV profiles like Dante, NDI, and SDVoE, making It easier than ever to use both SDVoE and Dante on the same switch.

Additionally, the ProAV Settings screen in the Web GUI allows you to quickly check multicast settings and operations, for faster and easier troubleshooting in ProAV networks.

Create high-speed, high-capacity networks with 10-gigabit and multi-gigabit speeds

The LAN ports of the SWX2320 series and SWX3220 series support five speeds (100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10Gbps) and optimize network speed as appropriate to the devices connected. As demand for speed and capacity grows because of rising numbers of wireless devices, greater audiovisual communication traffic, and increasing access to large files, faster LAN switches allow smooth handling of loads that would congest 1 Gbps networks. Networks that already use Cat5e or Cat6 cables can be accelerated to up to 5 Gbps by replacing their GbE switches with these new models. 10 Gbps networks can be created by using Cat6A cables with these models.

Options for Flexible System Design and Installation

A number of options are available for the SWR/SWX series, including rack-mount and wall-mount brackets that facilitate mounting in a variety of locations, and SFP modules that allow long-distance communication for flexible overall system setup and installation. The chart below lists the options that are available for each SWR and SWX switch model.

*Brackets are included.

What is DANTE

Dante replaces heavy, expensive analog or multicore cabling with LAN cables such as CAT5e and CAT6.

Because Dante uses logical routing instead of physical point-to-point connections, the network can be configured using available ports with just a few clicks.

Systems with Dante can also be easily expanded.

Additionally, Dante supports redundancy configuration, ensuring reliability even in emergency situations.

What is SDVoE

SDVoE (Software Defined Video over Ethernet) is an international standard for the professional audio/video (ProAV) market that can transmit 4K high-definition video and audio over 10 Gigabit communications.

By combining SDVoE encoders/decoders and controllers with a 10 Gigabit switch, video walls and multi-view systems can be configured.

This provides flexible support for implementations of digital signage across a variety of facilities, including airports, schools, e-sports facilities, and corporations.

What is NDI Certified

These new Yamaha SWR and SWX series switches are one of the first hardware products globally to become NDI Certified in the network switch category.

This certification guarantees full compatibility with products from the NDI Certified ecosystem, even without requiring native NDI integration. Yamaha switches provide an effortless experience and high-quality connection within any NDI network and workflow.

NDI (Network Device Interface) is a groundbreaking video connectivity standard that enables seamless transmission of high-quality video, audio, and metadata over standard IP networks. By leveraging NDI technology, devices such as cameras, switchers, and media servers on the same network can automatically discover and connect with one another, eliminating the need for complex configurations or dedicated cabling.

This connectivity standard empowers producers to access and utilize a virtually unlimited number of video sources within their network, significantly enhancing the flexibility and scalability of live production workflows. Whether for live events, broadcasts, or post-production, NDI transforms traditional video production by seamlessly integrating all sources on the network.

Network Visibility and Smart Management (Yamaha LAN Monitor)

Effective Dante network management hinges on a range of parameters such as network traffic, switch status, and individual Dante device information. The dedicated Yamaha LAN Monitor computer application provides a comprehensive single-screen view of all necessary parameters when used with SWP/SWR/SWX series switches. We refer to this type of graphical overview as “network visibility.” You can even take a snapshot of the normal network status and set an alarm to warn you if any of the parameters changes, so that problems can be identified and resolved quickly and easily. The Dante Controller application can also be launched from the Yamaha LAN Monitor with a single click, providing a total Dante network solution on a single computer.

Intelligent Security Management

Augmenting the VLAN functionality included in the SWX2320 series and SWX3220 series are built-in RADIUS server function. By setting up one switch as a RADIUS server and linking other switches to it, unauthorized network access can be effectively blocked for enhanced security, even in complex large-scale installations. Device authentication can be set up quickly and easily via a web-based GUI.

Support for PTPv2 TC time synchronization of 1 μsec or less

To provide the high-precision time synchronization necessary for synchronized audio and video playback and other applications, IEEE 1588 PTPv2 TC (Transparent Clock) is now supported with 1 Gbps/10 Gbps networks. This feature adds delay time data to PTP messages as they pass through the switches, enabling synchronization precision between devices of 1 μsec or less when real-time performance is required.
