System Design
The following sections provide design information related to DM NVX endpoints and the
network.
Endpoint Design
A DM NVX system is composed of one or more encoder endpoints and one or more
decoder endpoints. Additional components of a DM NVX system include the DM NVX
Director virtual switching appliances and SFP (Single Form-factor Pluggable)
transceiver modules.
The following sections provide information about DM NVX endpoints, DM NVX Director
virtual switching appliances, SFP modules, and related system design considerations.
DM NVX Endpoints
DM NVX endpoints are available in two form factors:
1. Surface-mountable endpoints, which provide a compact design that allows an
easy fit in various types of locations, for example, behind a flat panel display
2. Chassis-based cards, which are used with the DMF-CI-8 card chassis for
sources in close proximity to a rack or for applications requiring a high density
of endpoints
Surface-Mountable Endpoints
Surface-mountable endpoints consist of the following models:
• DM-NVX-35x Series encoders/decoders (DM-NVX-350, DM-NVX-351,
and DM-NVX-352)
• DM-NVX-E30 encoder
• DM-NVX-D30 decoder
