Using standard network switches and CAT5e UTP wiring, a DM NVX system delivers a high-performance virtual matrix routing solution that is economically advantageous and infinitely scalable for any enterprise or campus-wide 4K content distribution application. Professional onboard scaling, High Dynamic Range support (HDR10), and HDCP 2.2 compliance ensure the ultimate in picture quality and compatibility for all of today’s varied media sources.

The DM-NVX-352C is an AV over IP encoder/decoder card that occupies one slot of a DMF-CI-8 card chassis. The card is designed to function as either a transmitter or receiver in a high-density rack-mount installation. Capable of handling a network AV installation of any size, the DM-NVX-352C includes features such as secure web-based control and management, auto-switching HDMI® inputs, a scaling HDMI output, video wall processing, an analog audio input or output, native Dante® or AES67 transmit and receive capability, USB 2.0 and KVM integration, and support for copper and fiber Ethernet connectivity.

Real-Time 4K60 Video Distribution

Engineered for demanding conference room and classroom applications, DM NVX technology ensures real-time, full-motion 4K60 video performance for the presentation of multimedia, videoconferencing, and live camera images. Interactive functions such as gameplay and the use of a mouse are fluid and natural.

A DM NVX system is engineered for stability and reliability. Line-synchronized outputs ensure perfect synchronization of content across multiple displays for applications such as digital signage and video walls. Variable Multicast TTL (Time To Live) enables traversing multiple network routers for optimal flexibility.

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-352C 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-352C is configurable to operate as either a network AV encoder or decoder:

• As an encoder, the DM-NVX-352C allows the HDMI signal of the output of a switcher, computer, AirMedia® gateway, or other media source to be transmitted over the network to one or many decoders.
• As a decoder, the DM-NVX-352C receives the signal from a DM NVX encoder and feeds it to the input of a switcher or display device via the HDMI output. The decoder can quickly and easily switch between multiple encoders on the network alongside locally connected HDMI sources.

The DM-NVX-352C provides a versatile, cost-effective solution for applications that require encoder and decoder operating modes in a single card. The operating mode can be reconfigured dynamically in less than 1 minute via a control system or web browser or via the DMF-CI-8 front panel.

Auto-Switching HDMI® Inputs

The DM-NVX-352C includes two HDMI inputs. Switching between the two inputs can be performed automatically using auto-switching mode, programmatically via a control system, manually via the DMF-CI-8 front panel, or through a computer using a web browser.

HDMI Output with 4K60 4:4:4 Scaler

When the DM-NVX-352C 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-352C is configured as an encoder, the HDMI output can be used to feed a local display, confidence monitor, or audio system.

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.

Adaptive Bit Rate

In DM NVX encoder mode, adaptive bit rate can be enabled or disabled using the web interface or a control system. Adaptive bit rate enables the encoder to automatically set the bit rate required for the input resolution of the stream; for example, the adaptive bit rate for a common resolution such as 1920x1080p@60Hz (1080p60) is automatically set to 400 Mbps. Adaptive bit rate makes better use of the available bandwidth.

Dante® or AES67 Audio Embedding and De-embedding

Dante and AES67 support allows the selected audio source to be transmitted as a 2-channel Dante or AES67 source while another Dante or AES67 2-channel 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 Dante or AES67 received 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 Dante or AES67 received audio stream can be combined with the video and then output via the HDMI output and analog audio output.
