Recommend Cable
4KPROIP Series of AV Over IP was developed to work with the most basic HDMI and LAN infrastructure.
Although the 4KPROIP Series will work with most cables. aegis has recommended Cables are have been
tested in a Recognized Testing facility and have met the requirements set by the HDMI and TIA/EIA-
568C.2. The goal of Recommended Cables is to assist installers, integrators, and consumers in selecting
HDMI and LAN cables that meet the requirements, and as such provide optimal performance with
4KPROIP Series devices.
HDMI
Please, Kindly use of “Certified Premium High Speed HDMI Cable”, it is highly recommended.
Fiber
Please, Kindly use Multi-mode or single mode SFP+ fiber cable is highly recommended.

Recommend Network Switch
The aegis AV Over IP Series will work with most non-blocking, IGMP 10G network switch. Layer 3 will
allow more controllability; however, Layer 2 will work fine as well. It is highly recommended to
communicate with the representative of the desired network switch brand to confirm configuration
and capabilities. Below are some models that have been tested with the aegis 4KPROIP Series.
Switch Speed
The 4KPROIP Series requires the switch to be a 10GbE.
4KPROIP Series technology is used to transmit uncompressed video up to 4K along with other AV
signals such as audio, USB and control signals. For video alone, the raw bandwidth is about 4Gb/sec
for HD; and 8Gb/sec for 4K. Therefore it is obvious to understand why 4KPROIP series require 10GbE
network switches.
Packets Routing
To enable the transmission of a source to multiple destinations, aegis 4KPROIP series devices make
use of Multicast. The default behavior of layer 2 Ethernet switch is to broadcast those packets
which mean that every packet will be transmitted to all possible destinations. Therefore, any
network switch used with 4KPROIP Series must support IGMP Snooping. 4KPROIP-CAT series
endpoints use IGMP protocol to assign the endpoints into multicast groups and the router uses
IGMP snooping to route multicast packets efficiently to receivers that want to receive them.
Many switches have the IGMP Snooping feature disabled by default and manual configuration is
required. Often, a simple checkmark near “Enable IGMP Snooping” is the only thing needed to enable
IGMP Snooping.
However, the implementation of IGMP Snooping is vendor specific and additional configuration is
often needed.
An Ethernet switch can be informed that a device wants to leave a multicast channel by sending it an
IGMP LEAVE GROUP packet. Once received, the time it takes for the switch to apply the new
configuration may vary from one switch to another. Most switches implement and include FASTLEAVE
configuration option. When enabled, it takes much less time for a particular port to leave a multicast
group to assign the port to a different multicast group. The end results are a noticeably shorter video
switching time. aegis recommends that always enable the FASTLEAVE option when it is available.
With the FASTLEAVE option, seamless switching is possible for 4K video sources. Without FASTLEAVE
option, 'seamless' switching is limited to 1080P 60 Hz video signals.

across so far. Look for these or similar options when configuring your switch.
1. Enable IGMP Snooping
a. Must be enabled
2. Enable IGMP Snooping on VLAN 1
a. Must be enabled when all ports default to VLAN1
3. Filter/Drop unregistered Multicast traffic
a. If not applied, the behavior of the switch will broadcast multicast packets if the switch
has unknown destination for that packet.
b. Must be enabled if found
4. Unregistered Multicast Flooding
a. Must be disabled if found
5. Filter Unregistered Multicast (different wording than number 4 above)
a. Must be enabled if found
6. Enable IGMP Query
7. Enable IGMP Query on VLAN1
