Crestron DM-NVX-E760C – DM NVX 4K60 4:4:4 HDR Network AV Encoder Card with DM 8G+ Input

Product Overview

The Crestron DM-NVX-E760C is a high-performance 4K60 4:4:4 HDR AV-over-IP encoder card for the DMF-CI-8 card chassis, accepting a DM 8G+ or HDBaseT input and distributing encoded 4K video over standard Gigabit Ethernet to any DM NVX decoder on the network. It is the card-form migration product that bridges Crestron’s legacy DigitalMedia (DM 8G+) and HDBaseT infrastructure directly into a DM NVX AV-over-IP system — enabling phased migration from DM matrix to DM NVX at the head end without replacing source-side DM 8G+ transmitters, wall plates, or HDBaseT devices already installed throughout a facility. JITC certified for DoD deployments.

Product Description

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. The DM-NVX-E760C installs into a DMF-CI-8 card chassis — occupying a single card slot — providing high-density encoder aggregation at an equipment rack head end where multiple DM 8G+ sources must be converted to DM NVX streams simultaneously without the rack space footprint of individual standalone encoder units.

The DM input accepts DM 8G+ output devices and DM Essentials transmitters, including 1-gang and 2-gang wall plate transmitters, providing a simple integration path for existing DM infrastructure. The DM input is also compatible with third-party HDBaseT products certified to HDBaseT Alliance specifications, enabling the DM-NVX-E760C to bridge any HDBaseT system with AV over IP for hybrid system designs and smooth migration of existing HDBaseT deployments. Pixel Perfect Processing technology ensures imperceptible end-to-end latency of less than one frame across the 1-Gigabit network at any resolution up to 4K60 4:4:4, with HDR10 and HDCP 2.3 compliance for full compatibility with today’s varied media sources and displays. Enterprise-grade security features include 802.1X authentication, Active Directory credential management, AES-128 content encryption, PKI authentication, TLS, SSH, and HTTPS for demanding IT security environments. An integrated analog audio output provides a balanced or unbalanced stereo line-level signal — with adjustable volume — to feed a local sound system or sound bar at the source location. AES67 audio support allows audio from the HDBaseT source to be transmitted as a 2-channel AES67 stream while another AES67 stream is received from a network audio device, enabling flexible audio-over-IP routing alongside the video stream.

• Analog Audio Output with Volume Control: Balanced/unbalanced 5-pin 3.5mm stereo line-level output feeds a local sound system or sound bar; volume adjustable — 80 dB to +24 dB via web interface or control system.
• 7.1 Surround Sound Transport: Lossless 7.1 surround sound including Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, DTS HD, DTS:X, and uncompressed linear PCM transported over the DM NVX stream.
• AES67 Audio Embedding and De-embedding: Transmits audio from the HDBaseT source as a 2-channel AES67 stream and simultaneously receives a 2-channel AES67 stream from a network audio device for flexible audio-over-IP integration.
• Automatic Point-to-Point Connectivity: Direct encoder-to-decoder connection over 1000BASE-T without a network switch — auto-detected, no additional configuration required.
• Image Preview: Built-in image preview generates 1 fps still thumbnails of the current DM input video signal, viewable via the DM NVX web interface, a Crestron touch screen, or a third-party interface for monitoring and commissioning.
• Test Pattern Generator: Built-in test pattern generator for setup verification, display calibration, and alignment of displays, projectors, and video walls — sends test pattern to any routed DM NVX decoder.
• JITC Certified: Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) certification for DoD and federal government network AV deployments requiring DoD APL listing.
• XiO Cloud and AV Framework Support: Managed via Crestron XiO Cloud for enterprise fleet monitoring; compatible with .AV Framework for simplified room system deployment.
• DM NVX Director Compatible: Managed and routed by DM NVX Director virtual switching appliances for enterprise-scale matrix routing across all DM NVX endpoints.

Typical Applications

• Head-end encoder card for phased migration from Crestron DigitalMedia (DM 8G+) matrix switcher to DM NVX AV-over-IP — retains existing DM 8G+ wall plates and transmitters while adding NVX IP distribution to new display areas
• HDBaseT source integration into a DM NVX system where HDBaseT-certified third-party transmitters are already installed at source positions
• High-density head-end rack aggregating multiple DM 8G+ sources in a DMF-CI-8 chassis for campus-wide DM NVX distribution — up to 8 encoder cards per chassis
• DoD and federal government facility AV distribution requiring JITC-certified AV-over-IP encoders under DoD APL procurement
• Enterprise and corporate campus AV systems requiring enterprise-grade 802.1X, Active Directory, and AES-128 security with 4K60 4:4:4 HDR encoding
• Hybrid DM + NVX systems where some rooms retain DM 8G+ infrastructure and other areas are served by DM NVX decoders over IP

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between DM-NVX-E760C and DM-NVX-E760?
The DM-NVX-E760C is the card version for installation in the DMF-CI-8 card chassis — up to 8 encoder cards per 2U chassis for high-density head-end source aggregation. The DM-NVX-E760 is the standalone rack/surface unit. Both are functionally identical in encoding capability, DM 8G+ input support, and HDBaseT compatibility. Contact Creation Networks for chassis and card configuration guidance.

Can DM-NVX-E760C accept third-party HDBaseT transmitters?
Yes — the DM input is certified to HDBaseT Alliance specifications and is compatible with third-party HDBaseT-certified products, enabling the DM-NVX-E760C to bridge existing third-party HDBaseT infrastructure into a DM NVX AV-over-IP system. Contact Creation Networks for HDBaseT compatibility verification for your specific devices.

What stream type should I set for compatibility with DM-NVX-D10, D20, or D200 decoders?
For interoperability with the DM-NVX-D10, D20, or D200 decoder series, the stream type of the DM-NVX-E760C must be set to DM-NVX-D10/D20/D200 Series (not the default Pixel Perfect Processing) via the web interface or a control system. The resolution must also not exceed the maximum resolution of the target decoder. Contact Creation Networks for decoder compatibility guidance.

Does DM-NVX-E760C require DM NVX Director for operation?
For flexible multi-destination routing, DM NVX Director (DM-NVX-DIR-80, DM-NVX-DIR-ENT, or current-generation DM-NVX-DIR2) is recommended. For fixed point-to-point connections (encoder direct to decoder), the DM-NVX-E760C can operate without Director using automatic point-to-point connectivity. Contact Creation Networks for system architecture guidance.

Is DM-NVX-E760C JITC certified for DoD deployments?
Yes — the DM-NVX-E760C is JITC certified and listed on the DoD Approved Products List (APL). Contact Creation Networks for DoD procurement documentation.

What is the minimum firmware version required for DM NVX Software compatibility?
All DM NVX hardware endpoints including the DM-NVX-E760C must use firmware version 7.1.5259.00069 for DM NVX Software compatibility. DM NVX Software is not compatible with firmware version 7.1.5259.00084. Contact Creation Networks for firmware management guidance.

What is the warranty?
Crestron provides a standard 3-year limited warranty. Contact Creation Networks for warranty service details.
