Supports HDCP 2.3 and provides a secure 4K signal routing solution for enterprise and campus-wide content distribution applications.The Crestron DM-NVX-E20 is a compact AV over IP encoder designed to transmit video with resolutions up to 4K60 4:2:0 over standard Gigabit Ethernet. Featuring secure web€˜based control and management, an HDMI® input, an analog audio output, AES67 transmit and receive capability, and copper Ethernet connectivity with PoE support, the DM-NVX-E20 provides an encoder solution that offers price and performance optimization in a DM NVX network AV installation of any size.
Real-Time 4K60 Video Performance
Engineered for demanding conference room and classroom applications, the DM-NVX-E20 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 ultimate reliability. Line€˜synchronized outputs ensure perfect synchronization of content across multiple displays for applications such as digital signage. Variable Multicast TTL (Time To Live) enables traversing multiple network routers for optimal flexibility.
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 Functionality
The DM-NVX-E20 encoder provides one HDMI input that enables a laptop computer, camera, or other media source to be connected via an HDMI cable and then transmitted over the network to one or many decoders.1 Compatible with the DM-NVX-D20 and other DM NVX products that can function as decoders, the DM-NVX-E20 can be used in any DM NVX network AV design.
NOTE: The DM-NVX-E20 supports resolutions up to 4K60 4:2:0 including 4K30 4:4:4. If the DM-NVX-E20 is used with the DM-NVX-D10, the resolution of the DM-NVX-E20 must be configured so that it does not exceed the resolutions supported by the DM-NVX-D10.
It is recommended that the DM-NVX-E20 not be used with the DM-NVX-D10 in order to maintain the higher resolutions supported by the DM-NVX-E20.
Adaptive Bit Rate
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) would automatically be set to 400 Mbps. The bit rate is adjusted to make better use of the available bandwidth.
Analog Audio De-embedding
The analog audio output provides a stereo line€˜level signal to feed a local sound system or sound bar. The output volume is adjustable via a control system or web browser.3
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.
AES67 Audio Embedding or De-embedding
AES67 support allows the selected audio source to be transmitted as a 2-channel AES67 source while another 2€˜channel AES67 audio stream is received from a Crestron DSP or other third-party device. The AES67 audio stream that is received can be combined with the video signal and then output via the HDMI output and analog audio output.
Copper Ethernet Connectivity
The DM-NVX-E20 includes one RJ-45 1000BASE€˜T Ethernet port.2 The port is PoE compliant, enabling the device to be powered via a PoE Ethernet switch.4 For information about network requirements and guidelines, refer to the DM NVX AV-over-IP System Design Guide, Doc. 7977.
Automatic Point-to-Point Connectivity
Point-to-point connectivity enables the DM-NVX-E20 to be connected directly to a DM-NVX-D20 or any DM NVX 4K60 4:4:4 product that can function as a decoder in order to stream video and audio. Rather than being connected to an Ethernet switch, the 1000BASE-T Ethernet port of the DM-NVX-E20 is connected directly to a 1000BASE-T port of the decoder. By default, point-to-point mode automatically detects whether the DM-NVX-E20 is connected directly to a decoder or to a 1000BASE-T switch. When a direct connection between the DM-NVX-E10 and the decoder is detected, the devices operate in point-to-point mode without the need for additional configuration. The web interface or a control system can be used to disable point-to-point mode or to enable automatic detection of point-to-point connectivity.
Device Control via RS-232, IR, and CEC
The DM-NVX-E20 includes built€˜in COM (RS€˜232) and IR ports for control of source devices under the management of a control system. Additional control capability is provided by CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) over the HDMI connection. Under the management of a control system, the DM-NVX-E20 can control a source device via CEC, potentially eliminating the need for dedicated serial cables or IR emitters.
Web€˜Based Setup
Setup of the DM-NVX-E20 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.
Compact, Surface-Mountable Design
The DM-NVX-E20 mounts conveniently to a flat surface or rack rail and fits easily 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 via PoE or an optional power pack.
