Crestron® DM NVX® technology transports ultra high‑definition 4K60 4:4:4 video over standard Gigabit Ethernet with no perceptible latency or loss of quality. Using standard network switches and CAT5e UTP wiring, a DM NVX system delivers a high‑performance virtual matrix routing solution for any enterprise or campus‑wide 4K content distribution application. Support for HDR (High Dynamic Range) and HDCP 2.2 compliance ensures the ultimate in picture quality and compatibility for all of today’s varied media sources.^{1, 2}

The Crestron® DM‑NVX‑D30C is an AV over IP decoder that occupies one slot of a DMF‑CI‑8 card chassis. The card is designed to function as a receiver in a high‑density rack‑mount installation.  Featuring secure web‑based control and management, an HDMI® output, an analog audio output, AES67 transmit and receive capability, and copper Ethernet connectivity, the DM‑NVX‑D30C offers a low‑cost decoder solution for a DM NVX network AV installation of any size.²

Real‑Time 4K60 Video Distribution
Engineered for demanding conference room and classroom applications, DM NVX technology 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.

Pixel Perfect Processing Technology
A DM NVX system incorporates Pixel Perfect Processing technology, which provides flawless video transport in all applications. The DM‑NVX‑D30C can decode a video signal to achieve imperceptible end‑to‑end latency of less than 1  frame. The image quality of the source is maintained across a  1‑Gigabit network at any resolution up to 4K60 4:4:4.

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.

Decoder Functionality
The DM‑NVX‑D30C is a basic decoder card that receives a signal from a DM NVX encoder and feeds it to a local display device via the HDMI output. The DM‑NVX‑D30C can quickly and easily switch among multiple encoders on the network. Compatible with DM  NVX products that can function as encoders, the DM‑NVX‑D30C can be used in any DM NVX network AV design.

NOTE: The HDMI output does not support video scaling.

Image Preview
Image preview provides still images (thumbnails) that show the current video being displayed by an output of a DM NVX decoder. Still images are shown at one frame per second. Image preview supports the maximum resolution of the source and scales the image, while maintaining the aspect ratio. Images can be previewed in the DM NVX web interface and accessed remotely using a web browser. The images can also be previewed on a Crestron touch screen or third-party interface.

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 and combined with the video signal. The received AES67 audio stream can be combined with the video and then output via the HDMI output and analog audio output.

NOTE: An AES67 stream that is received by a DM NVX endpoint cannot be transmitted from that endpoint.

Copper Ethernet Connectivity
The DM‑NVX‑D30C includes one RJ-45 1000BASE‑T Ethernet port.² For information about network requirements and guidelines, refer to the DM NVX AV-over-IP System Design Guide, Doc. 7977.

CEC Device Control
Under the management of a control system, the DM‑NVX‑D30C can control the display device via CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) over the HDMI connection, potentially eliminating the need for dedicated serial cables or IR emitters.

CEC over the HDMI output can also enable the display device to be turned on or off automatically without the use of a control system.

Web‑Based Setup
Setup of the DM‑NVX‑D30C is accomplished by using a web browser. Full control and monitoring of the card 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
For applications that are small to moderate in size, a network of DM NVX endpoints can be configured and controlled with the use of a control system. For larger enterprise and campus‑wide signal routing applications, adding a DM NVX Director virtual switching appliance (DM-NVX-DIR-80, DM-NVX-DIR-160, or DM-NVX-DIR-ENT) enhances and 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.

Crestron XiO Cloud® Service Support
The DM‑NVX‑D30C is compatible with the Crestron XiO Cloud service, which is a platform for remotely provisioning, monitoring, and managing Crestron devices across an enterprise or an entire client base.

The service enables installers and IT managers to deploy and manage thousands of devices in the amount of time it previously took to manage a single device. For more information, visit www.crestron.com/xiocloud.

High‑Density Card‑Based Solution
The DM‑NVX‑D30C is designed for installation into a DMF‑CI‑8 card chassis, which provides a high‑density solution for applications requiring multiple encoders and decoders in one equipment rack.
