Simple and Flexible Configuration
A DM NVX Director network appliance automatically discovers DM NVX endpoints on the network and enables each endpoint to be assigned as a logical input or output within a domain:
-
The DM-NVX-DIR-80 supports a maximum of 80 DM NVX endpoints and 1 domain.
-
The DM-NVX-DIR-160 supports a maximum of 160 DM NVX endpoints and 20 domains.
-
The DM-NVX-DIR-ENT supports a maximum of 1000 DM NVX endpoints and 240 domains.
Multiple DM NVX Director network appliances can be used in a system. In addition to features supported by all DM NVX Director network appliances, the DM-NVX-DIR-ENT includes additional enterprise features.
Web-Based Setup and Control
A DM NVX Director network appliance provides an intuitive web interface to facilitate system configuration, signal routing, and diagnostics of the complete AV network. Each domain, endpoint, input, and output can be designated with a user-friendly name. The web interface enables easy navigation of the entire system. Domains, endpoints, inputs, and outputs can be quickly found by name or address. For each input and output, a signal routing map is also provided, showing video, audio, and USB signal status in a graphical layout.
Interdomain Routing (DM-NVX-DIR-160 and
DM‑NVX-DIR-ENT Only)
Video inputs can be routed to video outputs within a single domain. In addition, support of interdomain routing enables video inputs within a domain to be routed to video outputs of one or more other domains. Routing control of AV signals is accomplished by using the web interface or control system programming.
Multicast Address Control
A custom multicast range can optionally be assigned for DM NVX encoder endpoints within a domain. The custom multicast range is determined by the assignment of a starting multicast address, the number of multicast addresses assigned to each DM NVX endpoint, and the number of DM NVX endpoints assigned to a domain. Multicast address control is accomplished by using the web interface.
Credential Management of DM NVX Endpoints
Username and password credentials can be changed simultaneously for all DM NVX encoder and decoder endpoints within a domain. Username and password credential management is accomplished by using the web interface.
Multiple Control System Support (DM-NVX-DIR-160 and DM‑NVX‑DIR‑ENT Only)
A DM NVX Director network appliance supports Crestron 3-Series® or later control systems. For the DM-NVX-DIR-160 and DM-NVX-DIR-ENT, a single control system, referred to as the Global Domain control system, can be assigned to all domains simultaneously. In addition, support of multiple control systems enables the Global Domain control system or another control system, referred to as a Domain control system, to be assigned to each domain on an individual basis. The Domain control system that is assigned on an individual basis must be different for each domain. Assignment of multiple control systems is accomplished by using the web interface or control system programming.
Copper or Fiber Ethernet Connectivity (DM‑NVX‑DIR‑ENT Only)
The DM-NVX-DIR-ENT includes six 1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports and six 10GBASE-X SFP+ ports. Four of the 10GBASE-X SFP+ ports are 1000BASE-T compatible. Connection to a 1000BASE-T or 10GBASE-X fiber-optic network is facilitated by inserting an appropriate SFP or SFP+ transceiver module (Crestron SFP-1G or SFP-10G series, sold separately) into an SFP+ port. A selection of modules is offered to accommodate various multimode and single-mode fiber types.
NOTE: Ports 7 and 8 support 10GBASE-X only and are compatible with SFP-10G SFP+ transceivers only.
Redundant Power Supplies (DM-NVX-DIR-ENT Only)
Onboard dual redundant power supplies provide enhanced reliability for demanding applications. In the unlikely event of an individual power supply fault, the DM-NVX-DIR-ENT will continue to operate unhindered on only one functioning power supply. A modular, hot-swappable design allows either power supply to be replaced in seconds from the rear panel without powering down or rebooting the system. The DM-NVX-DIR-ENT ships complete with both power supply modules installed.
