with the latest generation of computers, monitors, and displays.
Pixel Perfect Processing Technology
A DM NVX system incorporates Pixel Perfect Processing technology, which
provides flawless video transport in all applications. Depending on the
operating mode, the DM‑NVX‑384 can encode or decode a video signal to achieve
imperceptible end-to-end latency of less than one frame. The image quality of
the source is maintained across a 1‑Gigabit network at resolutions up to 5K
Wide 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 and Decoder Functionality
The DM‑NVX‑384 is configurable to operate as either a network AV encoder or
decoder:
- As an encoder, the DM‑NVX‑384 allows the HDMI or USB‑C 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‑384 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 or USB-C source.1
The DM‑NVX‑384
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 SETUP button.
HDMI Output with 4K60 4:4:4 Scaler
When the DM‑NVX‑384 is configured as a decoder, the HDMI output feeds the
decoded signal to the HDMI input of a local display device, switcher, 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‑384 is configured as an encoder, the HDMI output can be
used to feed a local display, confidence monitor, or audio system.1, 5
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.
Text Overlay
The ability to display dynamic or fixed text on screen provides a means to
label the video source or to display special instructions, schedules,
announcements, alerts, and other messaging.
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‑384 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.
AES67 and DM NAX® Audio Embedding and De-embedding
AES67 support via native support for Crestron DM NAX® Audio-over-IP
technology allows the selected audio source to be transmitted as a 2-channel
AES67 source while another AES67 2-channel audio stream is received from a
Crestron DM NAX device or other AES67 capable 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, secondary audio stream, and analog
audio output. In DM NVX decoder mode, the AES67 received audio stream can
be combined with the video and then output via the HDMI output and analog audio
output.
Analog Audio Embedding or De-embedding
An unbalanced 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 soundbar. The output volume
is adjustable via a control system or web browser.6
Breakaway Audio
A DM NVX decoder can select and combine separate video and audio signals
from two different inputs or even two different encoders. Combining signals
from two separate encoders is limited to 2-channel stereo audio.7
Copper or Fiber Ethernet Connectivity
The DM‑NVX‑384 includes two RJ-45 1000BASE-T ports (Ethernet ports 1 and 2) and
one SFP port (Ethernet port 3). Any Ethernet port can be used to transport
video over a Gigabit Ethernet network. When not used to transport network
video, ports 1 and 2 can provide network connections for an AirMedia gateway,
display device, or other local device. The ports can also 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 POE++ compliant Ethernet switch or third-party IEEE 802.3bt
compliant PSE (power sourcing equipment).2, 8
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
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.
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 TO HOST and TO DEVICE ports
are provided on the DM‑NVX‑384, 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 TO DEVICE ports of up
to seven remote DM NVX endpoints to the TO HOST port
of a single local DM NVX endpoint. Layer 2 also supports Crestron
USB-over-Ethernet devices (DM‑NUX‑L2 or DM‑NUX‑R2, sold separately), which can be used in
locations that do not include DM NVX endpoints. USB signals can be routed
between DM NVX and DM NUX devices under the management of a control
system.
USB 2.0 Layer 3 data transport supports USB signal extension in DM NVX
point-to-point applications across VLANs.
Device Control
The DM‑NVX‑384 includes built-in COM (RS-232) and IR ports
for control of the connected display, camera, or other devices by a control
system. Additional control capability is provided by CEC (Consumer Electronics
Control) over the HDMI connection, potentially eliminating the need for
dedicated serial cables or IR emitters.
The COM 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‑384 is accomplished by using a web browser. Full control
and monitoring of the device is enabled through integration with a control
