Crestron DM-NVX-DIR-80 DM NVX Director™ Virtual Switching Appliance for 80 Endpoints
Facilitates configuration, control, and management of a large-scale AV network using DM NVX™ encoder/decoders. Provides the virtual equivalent of a hardware-based DM matrix switcher.
The DM-NVX-DIR-80 is an enterprise-grade network appliance that facilitates configuration, control, and management of a large-scale AV network. Using DM NVX™ encoders and decoders, Crestron® offers the industry’s most versatile and scalable solution for distributing 4K60 4:4:4 HDR video over an IP network. The DM-NVX-DIR-80 provides a means for managing large networks of DM NVX™ devices, routing AV signals, and simplifying integration with one or more Crestron control systems.1
Virtual DM® Switcher
The DM-NVX-DIR-80 virtually emulates the functionality of a traditional hardware-based DigitalMedia™ matrix switcher, routing high-quality 4K streaming AV signals throughout a room, building, or campus. The DM-NVX-DIR-80 supports a total of 80 endpoint devices consisting of DM NVX encoders and decoders. Multiple units can be deployed, with the ability to route signals between units just like hardware switchers2, easily handling even the largest corporate enterprise, university, governmental, military, medical, transportation, sports, entertainment, hospitality, gaming, or retail application.
Simple, Flexible Configuration
System configuration could not be simpler. The DM-NVX-DIR-80 automatically discovers each DM NVX endpoint on the network, and allows each endpoint to be assigned as a logical input or output to the software-based matrix switcher. The DM-NVX-DIR-80 effectively eliminates the need for a physical switcher, providing the virtual equivalent running on the AV network.
Note: The DM-NVX-DIR-80 assigns all associated endpoints to a single “domain.” A domain is a logical grouping of endpoints that operate together as a single switching entity. Each DM-NVX-DIR-80 in a system functions as a separate domain. Other DM NVX Director models, including the DM-NVX-DIR-160 and DM-NVX-DIR-ENT, can support multiple domains. Refer to each model’s spec sheet for more information and additional available features.
Easy Web-Based Setup and Control
The DM-NVX-DIR-80 provides an intuitive web-based user interface to facilitate system configuration, signal routing, and comprehensive diagnostics of the complete AV network. Each domain and endpoint, as well as the inputs and outputs on each endpoint, can be designated with a user-friendly name. Navigating the entire system is easy using the search box2 to quickly find domains, endpoints, inputs, and outputs by name or address. A system overview screen is also provided, showing the video and audio signal status for every input and output in a graphical layout that’s easy to view and navigate.
Crestron XiO Cloud™ Provisioning and Management
The Crestron XiO Cloud service is a unifying cloud-based platform for remotely provisioning, monitoring, and managing Crestron devices across an enterprise or an entire client base. The XiO Cloud™ service enables installers and IT managers to deploy and manage thousands of devices in the amount of time it would ordinarily take to manage just one. It provides a zero-touch solution that allows complete configuration of device settings without any hardware in hand. Simply connect each device on site and let the XiO Cloud service push out the settings, licenses, drivers, and firmware updates automatically and securely for a quick and painless, ready-to-use deployment.
Ongoing XiO Cloud service facilitates daily management and monitoring of every device through a single dashboard with comprehensive reporting and logging, live status viewing and alerts, performance metrics and analytics, scheduled actions and updates, and more. As requirements grow and evolve, new features and functionality can be added easily to one or many devices at any time without ever going on site. The XiO Cloud service is subscription based, offering an adaptable SaaS (Software as a Service) solution with graduated levels of functionality and unlimited scalability.
