The Ethernet Switch 360P is built for the film and television industry, pairing extremely high performance with low latency for SMPTE 2110 video work. It carries sixteen 10G Ethernet ports and two 100G Ethernet QSFP sockets that accept copper cables or optical fibre modules, and it is suited to complex configurations and multicasting — exactly the kind of setup that comes up in fly-pack rigs and small broadcast trucks working to a tight footprint.

Router-style front panel

At the front, a built-in control panel with buttons, a display and a search wheel sets up 2110 IP multicasting using familiar video-routing conventions, so configuring the switch does not call for a dedicated team of IT technicians. Connected 2110 devices display alphabetically on the front screen for quick identification, and a speed graph on the monitor output tracks each port individually — useful for spotting a slow or dropped link at a glance during a live setup.

Rear-panel connectivity

The back of the unit works like a conventional Ethernet switch, with sixteen 10Gb/s RJ45 ports and two 100Gb/s QSFP28 ports positioned there for easier cable management and a tidier rack.

Where it fits

That combination of router-style control on the front and conventional switch connectivity on the back suits fly-pack kits and small broadcast trucks that need SMPTE 2110 networking without the footprint of a full IT-managed switch room.
