Luxul switches offering support for WyreStorm NetworkHD include the AMS-2624P,
AMS-1208P and AMS-4424P models – all part of Luxul’s AV Series, which is purpose-built
for use with AV equipment.
Mr Meredith says: ‘NetworkHD is the most powerful, innovative yet simplest line of
AV over IP products on the market today and it is important that our switch manufacturer
partners are as well. Luxul’s line of AV switches offer the flexibility, simplicity and
reliability we value so highly in our own products, with a good example being how their
simple web-based tick box configuration enables a system to be set up in seconds.
‘When integrating with NetworkHD, our auto-discovery function means that for
integrators the attachment of all components in a system is almost plug and play and
they’re done!’
On partnering with WyreStorm, Clark Roundy, Luxul’s vice president of marketing
and product management, adds: ‘Luxul and WyreStorm have a fantastic long standing
partnership working together to help integrators deliver a better AV-over-IP experience.
‘We’re excited that our high per formance switches are now fully supported as part of
the NetworkHD family and look forward to working even more closely with WyreStorm to
benefit integrators and customers alike.’
