Crestron DM NVX Series - Introduction to DM NVX Encoders;Decoders

Product Manual – DOC. 8879C DM-NVX-36x(C) Encoders/Decoders • 1
Introduction
Crestron® DM NVX® network AV encoders/decoders transport ultra high-definition
4K video with 60 Hz frame rates and 4:4:4 color sampling over standard Gigabit
Ethernet. Using Pixel Perfect Processing technology, a video signal is encoded and then
decoded to achieve imperceptible end-to-end latency of less than 1 frame.
DM-NVX-36x(C) encoders/decoders consist of the following:
• Surface-mountable endpoints: DM-NVX-363 and DM-NVX-360. Compact in
design, the endpoints are designed to fit in various locations, for example, behind
a flat panel display.
• Card endpoints: DM-NVX-363C and DM-NVX-360C. The cards are designed to
occupy a card slot in the DMF-CI-8 card chassis.
The DM-NVX-363 and DM-NVX-363C provide the same functionality as the DM-NVX-
360 and DM-NVX-360C with the addition of Dante® audio networking and surround
sound to stereo downmixing. All DM-NVX-36x(C) devices offer encoding and decoding
capabilities in a single unit.
NOTE: DM-NVX-36x(C) encoders/decoders are compatible with DM-NVX-35x(C)
encoders/decoders, DM-NVX-E30(C) encoders, DM-NVX-D30(C) decoders, and
DM-NVX-D80-IOAV decoders. Scaling is supported by DM-NVX-36x(C) and
DM-NVX-35x(C) decoders only.
