provides flawless video transport in all applications. Depending on the
operating mode, the DM‑NVX‑360 can encode or decode a video signal to
achieve imperceptible end-to-end latency of less than 1 frame. The image
quality of the source is maintained across a 1-Gigabit network at any
resolution up to 4K60 4:4:4.
Enterprise-Grade Security
Using advanced security features and protocols such as 802.1X authentication,
Active Directory® credential management, AES-128 content encryption, PKI
authentication, TLS, SSH, and HTTPS, a DM NVX system delivers a true
enterprise-grade network AV solution engineered to fulfill demanding IT
policies.
Encoder or Decoder Functionality
The DM‑NVX‑360 is configurable to operate as either a network AV encoder or
decoder:
- As an encoder, the DM‑NVX‑360 allows the HDMI signal of a laptop computer, camera, or other media source to be transmitted over the network to one or many decoders.1
- As a decoder, the DM‑NVX‑360 receives the signal from a DM NVX encoder and feeds it to a display device via the HDMI output. The decoder can quickly and easily switch between multiple encoders on the network alongside a locally connected HDMI source.1
The DM‑NVX‑360
provides a versatile and cost-effective solution for applications that require
encoder and decoder operating modes in a single device. The operating mode can
be reconfigured dynamically in less than 1 minute via a control system or web
browser or can be changed by using the onboard Setup button.
NOTE: For compatibility with DM NVX Software, all DM NVX hardware endpoints need
to use firmware version 7.1.5259.00069. DM NVX Software is not compatible with
firmware version 7.1.5259.00084.
HDMI® Input
The DM‑NVX‑360 includes one HDMI input. When the DM‑NVX-360 is used as a
decoder mounted behind a typical conference room display device, the HDMI input
provides a convenient way to connect to a Crestron AirMedia® presentation gateway,
videoconferencing codec, or small form factor computer.1
HDMI Output with 4K60 4:4:4 Scaler
When the DM‑NVX‑360 is configured as a decoder, the HDMI output feeds the
decoded signal to the HDMI input of a local display device or other equipment.
The built-in scaler ensures an optimal image, scaling the encoded source
resolution up or down to match the native resolution of the display device.
When the DM‑NVX‑360 is configured as an encoder, the HDMI output can be used to
feed a local display, confidence monitor, or audio system.1, 4
Video Wall Processing
A video wall composed of up to 64 individual displays can be configured using
multiple DM NVX endpoints. Each endpoint provides fully adjustable zoom
capability and bezel compensation to accommodate a range of video wall
configurations and display types. One DM NVX endpoint is required per display,
supporting configurations of up to eight wide by eight high.
Dynamic Text Overlay
The DM-NVX-360 enables the display of dynamic text, providing a means to
label the video source or to display special instructions, schedules,
announcements, alerts, and other messaging.
Image Preview
Image preview provides still images (thumbnails) that show the current video
being received by an input of a DM NVX encoder or displayed by an output of a
DM NVX decoder. Still images are shown at one frame per second. Image preview
supports the maximum resolution of the source and scales the image while
maintaining the aspect ratio. Images can be previewed in the DM NVX web
interface and accessed remotely using a web browser. The images can also be
previewed on a Crestron touch screen or third-party interface.
Background Image for On-Screen Display
When the DM-NVX-360 is configured as a decoder, an image can be uploaded to the
device for use as a background image on a display whenever active video content
is not being displayed. Supported image file types are .jpeg, .jpg, and .png.
The supported maximum resolution of an image is 3840x2160 pixels. Up to 20
image files can be uploaded for a total storage capacity of up to 100 MB.
Test Pattern Generator
When the DM-NVX-360 is configured as an encoder, the built-in test pattern
generator can be used during setup to ensure that video streaming is functional
and can also be used as a tool for the adjustment, calibration, and alignment
of displays, projectors, and video walls. The DM NVX encoder can send the test
pattern to any routed DM NVX decoder.
Fixed, Adaptive, or Variable Bit Rate
In DM NVX encoder mode, the bit rate of a stream can be set to fixed, adaptive,
or variable:
- A fixed bit rate, also referred to as Constant Bit Rate (CBR), is user specified and can be set to a value ranging from 200 Mbps to 950 Mbps.5
- Adaptive bit rate (ABR) enables the encoder to automatically set a fixed bit rate based on the input resolution of the stream. For example, the adaptive bit rate for a common resolution such as 1920x1080p@60Hz (1080p60) would automatically be set to 400 Mbps. Adaptive bit rate makes better use of the available bandwidth than a user-specified fixed bit rate.
- Variable bit rate (VBR) enables the encoder to automatically vary the bit rate based on the content and input resolution of the stream. The bit rate can vary from less than 150 Mbps to a maximum of 750 Mbps. A variable bit rate results in the use of less bandwidth to produce the same image quality as a user-specified fixed bit rate or an adaptive bit rate.
The web
interface or a control system can be used to set a fixed bit rate or to enable
adaptive or variable bit rate functionality.
Analog Audio Embedding or De-embedding
A balanced stereo analog audio port is included, which can be configured as
either an input or output. As an input, the port allows a stereo audio source
to be connected and combined with the video signal from the HDMI input or the
incoming network video stream. As an output, the port can provide a stereo
line-level signal to feed a local sound system or analog audio switcher. The
output volume is adjustable via a control system or web browser.6
7.1 Surround Sound Audio
DM NVX technology supports the lossless transport of 7.1 surround sound audio
signals, including Dolby® TrueHD, Dolby Atmos®, DTS HD®, DTS:X®, and
uncompressed linear PCM. In decoder mode, the DM‑NVX‑360 can receive both
multichannel and 2-channel downmix signals from a DM-NVX-363, DM-NVX-363C, DM-NVX-351, or DM-NVX-351C encoder, allowing either
signal to be selected at the HDMI output while the 2-channel signal is
automatically routed to the analog output.6
AES67 Audio Embedding and De-embedding
AES67 support enables the selected audio source to be transmitted as a
2-channel AES67 audio stream while another 2-channel AES67 audio stream is
received from a Crestron DSP or other third-party device and combined with the
video signal.
In DM NVX encoder mode, the received AES67 audio stream can be output via the
local HDMI output, primary AV stream, and analog audio output. In DM NVX
decoder mode, the received AES67 audio stream can be combined with the video
and then output via the HDMI output and analog audio output.
NOTE: An AES67 audio stream that is received by a DM NVX endpoint cannot be
transmitted from that endpoint.
Breakaway Audio
A DM NVX decoder can select and combine separate video and audio signals from
two different inputs—even two different encoders. Combining signals from two
separate encoders is limited to 2-channel stereo audio.7
Copper and Fiber Ethernet Connectivity
The DM‑NVX‑360 includes two RJ-45 1000BASE-T ports (Ethernet ports 1 and 2),
one RJ-45 100BASE-TX port (Ethernet port 3), and one SFP port (Ethernet port
4). The SFP port enables connection to a fiber-optic network with the use of
the appropriate Crestron SFP-1G Series transceiver module (sold
separately). A selection of modules is offered to accommodate various multimode
and single-mode fiber types.3
Ethernet port 1, 2, or 4 can be used to transport video over a Gigabit Ethernet
network. Ports 1 and 2 can also be used to provide network connections for
an AirMedia gateway, display device, or other local
device. In addition, the ports can be used to daisy-chain multiple endpoints
feeding a single-source video wall or individual displays that show the same
video image. Port 1 is also capable of receiving power from a Crestron
power injector (DM-PSU-ULTRA-MIDSPAN), POE+ compliant Ethernet switch,
or third-party IEEE 802.3at compliant PSE (power sourcing equipment).2, 8
An RJ-45 100BASE-TX port is included for connection to a dedicated audio
network or for use as a convenience port.
A DM NVX system can be deployed on an existing corporate or campus network or
on a dedicated network. For information about network requirements and
guidelines, refer to the DM NVX AV-over-IP System Design Guide, Doc. 7977,
at https://www.crestron.com/nvx.
Network Port Selection
Network port selection enables network traffic to be managed and segregated
based on traffic type. Internal VLANs are used to route different traffic types
to specific external Ethernet ports, which can then be assigned to the various
traffic types. AES67 audio can be separated from the primary video and control
network resulting in a dedicated audio network.
Automatic Point-to-Point Connectivity
Point-to-point connectivity enables a DM NVX 4K60 4:4:4 encoder to be connected
directly to a DM NVX 4K60 4:4:4 decoder to stream video, audio, and USB
signals. Rather than being connected to a Gigabit Ethernet network, a
1000BASE-T Ethernet port of an encoder is connected directly to a 1000BASE-T
port of a decoder. By default, point-to-point mode is enabled and can be
disabled if desired.
When point-to-point mode is enabled and a direct connection between an encoder
and decoder is automatically detected, no additional configuration is required
for the encoder or decoder to operate in point-to-point mode; however, the
operating mode of a DM-NVX-360 device must be configured correctly. If the
device is to function as an encoder, the operating mode of the device must be
configured as an encoder. If the device is to function as a decoder, the
operating mode must be configured as a decoder. In addition, a control system
is required for CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), RS-232, and IR control.
USB 2.0 and KVM Integration
DM NVX technology supports the extension of USB signals, which can be switched
and routed alongside the AV signal or separately via a control system. USB 2.0
HOST and DEVICE ports are provided on the DM‑NVX‑360, allowing a USB mouse,
keyboard, or other peripheral device to be connected to a remote endpoint and
routed to a computer or other host at the local endpoint. In addition to KVM
switch functionality, various types of USB peripherals are supported, including
whiteboards, touch screens, game controllers, cameras, mobile devices,
headsets, and flash drives.9
USB 2.0 data transport can be configured for Layer 2 or Layer 3. Layer 2
supports USB signal extension in point-to-point and multipoint applications.
USB signals can be routed from the HOST port of up to seven remote DM NVX
endpoints to the DEVICE port of a single local DM NVX endpoint. Layer 2 also
supports Crestron USB over Ethernet Network extenders, which consist of
the DM-NUX-L2, DM-NUX-R2, DM-NUX-L2-1G, DM-NUX-R2-1G, and legacy models (USB‑NX2‑LOCAL-1G, USB‑NX2‑REMOTE-1G, USB‑EXT‑DM‑LOCAL, and USB‑EXT‑DM‑REMOTE). The USB extenders can be used in
locations that do not include DM NVX endpoints. USB signals can be routed
between DM NVX endpoints and USB extenders under the management of a control
system.10
USB 2.0 Layer 3 data transport supports USB signal extension in DM NVX
point-to-point applications across VLANs. DM NUX, USB NX2, and USB EXT DM
devices do not support Layer 3.
In addition to USB 2.0 HOST and DEVICE ports, the DM-NVX-360 includes a USB 2.0
HID port that can provide hot key functionality when enabled via the web
interface or a control system. When the DM NVX device is operating as a
receiver, the HID port can detect a series of hot key sequences on a keyboard
and route USB traffic to the control system and then to selected source devices
(for example, PCs).
Device Control
The DM-NVX-360 includes built-in COM (RS-232) and IR ports for control of the
connected display, camera, or other devices under the management of a control
system. Additional control capability is provided by CEC over the HDMI
connections. Under the management of a control system, the DM‑NVX‑360 can
control the display and source devices, potentially eliminating the need for
dedicated serial cables or IR emitters.
The COM port, IR port, and CEC over the HDMI output can also enable the display
device to be turned on or off automatically without the use of a control
system.
Web-Based Setup
Setup of the DM‑NVX‑360 is accomplished by using a web browser. Full control
and monitoring of the device is enabled through integration with a control
system or with a DM NVX Director® virtual switching appliance.
Streamlined Management Using DM NVX Director Virtual Switching Appliances
Use of a DM NVX Director virtual switching appliance (DM-NVX-DIR-80, DM-NVX-DIR-160, or DM-NVX‑DIR‑ENT) streamlines the entire
configuration and control process. A DM NVX Director appliance
provides a central point of management and enables the creation of multiple
virtual matrix switchers through one easy-to-use web-based portal.
Low-Profile Installation
The DM‑NVX‑360 mounts conveniently onto a flat surface or rack rail, and fits
easily behind a flat panel display, above a ceiling-mounted projector, beneath
a tabletop, or inside a lectern, AV cart, or equipment cabinet. All connectors
and LED indicators are positioned on the front and rear of the device, offering
optimal access and visibility for a clean, serviceable installation. Power is
provided using POE+ or the optional Crestron PW-2412WU power pack (sold separately).8
