Crestron DM-NVX-DIR2 DM NVX Director® Network AV Switching Appliance

The Crestron DM‑NVX‑DIR2 is an enterprise-grade network appliance that facilitates configuration, control, and management of a large-scale AV network using DM NVX® encoder and decoder endpoints. The DM‑NVX‑DIR2 virtually emulates the functionality of a traditional hardware-based DM® matrix switcher, routing high-quality 4K streaming AV signals throughout a room, building, or campus.

The DM‑NVX‑DIR2 supports a maximum of 100 DM NVX endpoints. A single Ethernet port is built-in, and up to three ADPT‑USB3.0‑GBENET (sold separately) can be connected via USB for additional Ethernet ports. DM NVX Director® network appliances can be deployed to handle corporate enterprise, university, government, military, medical, transportation, sports, entertainment, hospitality, gaming, and retail applications.

Simple and Flexible Configuration
The DM‑NVX‑DIR2 automatically discovers up to 100 DM NVX endpoints on the network and enables each endpoint to be assigned as a logical input or output within a domain. Up to 20 domains are supported. For larger systems, multiple DM‑NVX‑DIR2 network appliances can be used. Alternatively, the DM‑NVX‑DIR‑ENT, which supports 240 domains and includes additional enterprise features, can also be used.

Easy Web-Based Setup and Control
The DM‑NVX‑DIR2 provides an intuitive web-based user interface to facilitate system configuration, signal routing, and diagnostics of a complete AV network. Each domain and endpoint, as well as the inputs and outputs of each endpoint, can be designated with a user-friendly name. Navigating the entire system is easy using the search box to quickly find domains, endpoints, inputs, and outputs by name or address. The system overview screen visually displays the video and audio signal status for all inputs and outputs, offering an intuitive and easy-to-navigate graphical layout.

Interdomain Routing
Video inputs can be routed to video outputs within a single domain. Additionally, interdomain routing allows video inputs from one domain to be transmitted to video outputs across 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 be assigned for DM NVX encoder and decoder endpoints. This range is defined by three factors: the starting multicast address, the number of multicast addresses allocated per DM NVX endpoint, and the total number of DM NVX endpoints within the 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. Alternatively, the username and password can be changed for only particular DM NVX endpoints. Username and password credential management is accomplished by using the web interface.

Multiple Control System Support
The DM‑NVX‑DIR2 is compatible with Crestron 3-Series® and later control systems. It allows for the assignment of a single control system, known as the Global Domain control system, to all domains at once. Additionally, multiple control systems can be assigned, enabling either the Global Domain control system or a separate Domain control system to be allocated to each domain individually. Control system assignment can be managed through the web interface or control system programming.
