I don't know if any Netgear switches are yet ST.2110 friendly.
This is what Netgear said a year or two ago :
"If you are after OSPF, PIM, and PTP Boundary mode, it would mean you have SMPTE (ST2110 /AES67) applications. I am sorry to tell you, that we don't support SMPTE at NETGEAR today."
This may have changed since that was posted - but ST.2110 video and audio requires very specific functionality in switches related to PTP and specific multicast functionality - standard COTS Managed switches that don't specifically mention ST.2110/AES67 support are probably best avoided unless you have seen reports of others using them successfully. (Beware sometimes AES67 will work on switches it shouldn't - but that doesn't mean ST.2110 video will)
I think this is one reason BMD has produced an ST.2110-compatible switch of their own - to help simplify this. (The ST.2110 large scale installs I've seen in OB trucks usually use Arista or Cisco switches I think)
