Crestron DM-NVX-SW-C310 – 4K60 Network AV Software Encoder/Decoder

Product Overview

The Crestron DM-NVX-SW-C310 is a CPU-based software application that turns a Windows PC into a full-featured DM NVX 4K60 network AV encoder or decoder. It delivers pixel-perfect AV distribution over standard Gigabit Ethernet and operates interchangeably with DM NVX hardware endpoints in the same system. This single-stream license supports resolutions up to 4096x2160 at 60 Hz (DCI 4K60) with AES-128 content encryption.

Product Description

The DM-NVX-SW-C310 runs on any Windows 10 or Windows 11 (64-bit) machine equipped with an Intel Core i7 12th-generation or newer processor and dual-channel 16 GB RAM. It joins the broader DM NVX ecosystem without requiring dedicated hardware, allowing integrators to reduce rack footprint and hardware costs in applications where a host PC is already deployed. The software uses RTP/SDP streaming over standard MPEG-2 transport stream containers, with session initiation handled by secure RTSP multicast. A single license covers encoding or decoding for one stream at variable bit rates from 150 to 500 Mbps, and Crestron 3-Series or later control system integration ensures the software endpoint participates fully in system routing and control logic.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the DM-NVX-SW-C310 work with existing DM NVX hardware endpoints?

Yes. The software is fully interoperable with DM NVX hardware encoders and decoders, and can be mixed within the same DM NVX system without special configuration.

Can a single PC run both encoder and decoder functions simultaneously?

No. Each DM-NVX-SW-C310 license enables one software instance that operates as either an encoder or a decoder. A separate license is required for each function on the same machine.

What control system integration is supported?

The DM-NVX-SW-C310 integrates with Crestron 3-Series control systems or later, communicating over the same IP network used for AV transport.
