I'll try tonight if I remember. I can compare 500AV, 200AV and
local GigE switch.
If you run 200AV and 500AV on the same network then the 200AVs can
only signal to the 500AVs at 200, it's not clear if the 500AVs are
forced down to 200 when talking to each other if there is a 200AV
on the same wiring.
