Extron NAV 10SD 101 10G HDMI Scaling Decoder - Multimode

Product Description

The Extron NAV 10SD 101 Multimode is a 10G HDMI scaling decoder that decodes and scales ultra-low-latency, visually lossless 4K video and audio over 10 Gbps fiber networks. Built on Extron's patented PURE3 codec, this commercial-grade decoder reproduces source content at resolutions up to 4K/60 with 4:4:4 chroma sampling and no visible compression artifacts. The multimode model uses industry-standard LC fiber connectors to extend AV-over-IP signals up to 400 m (1,312 ft), and is fully interoperable with both 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps NAV endpoints. Fiber transmission makes the NAV 10SD 101 inherently immune to electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, suiting it to simulation, command and control, medical diagnostics, and other high-bandwidth AV-over-IP deployments.

Integrated Extron Vector 4K scaling matches the HDMI 2.0 output to any connected display, with selectable output rates from 640x480 to 4096x2160 and FILL or FOLLOW aspect-ratio modes. The decoder supports AES67 audio over IP, HDCP 2.3 with Key Minder, SRTP stream encryption, 802.1X access control, and a FIPS 140-2 certified cryptographic module for secure operation in government, military, and medical environments. The NAV 10SD 101 requires a NAVigator System Manager for centralized configuration, switching, and monitoring, and integrates with Extron Pro Series control systems for encrypted RS-232 and IR control. For copper-network deployments choose the NAV 10SD 101 Singlemode variant for longer 10 km runs, and browse the full Extron NAV collection at Creation Networks.

Key Features

• 4K/60 4:4:4 Scaling Decoder — The NAV 10SD 101 receives and scales 4K/60 video with 4:4:4 chroma sampling and audio over 10 Gbps fiber networks for high-bandwidth, future-ready transmission.
• PURE3 Codec — Extron's patented wavelet-based PURE3 codec delivers visually lossless 4K video with ultra-low, sub-frame latency and advanced error concealment for resilience against network errors.
• Multimode Fiber Connectivity — Industry-standard LC connectors extend AV and control signals up to 400 m (1,312 ft) over multimode fiber with inherent immunity to RFI and EMI.
• Vector 4K Scaling — Integrated Extron Vector 4K scaling provides high-precision upscaling and downscaling with selectable FILL and FOLLOW aspect-ratio modes for the optimal resolution on each display.
• HDMI Output with HDCP 2.3 — The HDMI 2.0 output supports data rates up to 18 Gbps, deep color, and two-channel LPCM audio while maintaining HDCP 2.3 compliance through Extron Key Minder.
• AES67 Audio Interoperability — The decoder transmits and receives AES67 audio-over-IP streams for integration with Extron DMP Plus DSPs and third-party IP audio components.
• 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps Interoperability — As part of the NAV platform, the decoder works in mixed-bandwidth systems alongside both 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps NAV endpoints.
• Enterprise Security — Support for 802.1X port-based access control, SRTP stream encryption, Active Directory, and a FIPS 140-2 certified cryptographic module protects sensitive AV traffic.
• WindoWall Videowall Support — NAV scaling decoders support videowall applications in arrays up to 8x8 using Extron WindoWall processing with up to eight presets per videowall.
• NAV KVM Workstation — The decoder supports NAV KVM workstation configurations of up to eight displays managed through the NAVigator with SmartGlide switching.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the multimode and singlemode NAV 10SD 101?

Both decoders are functionally identical 10G AV-over-IP decoders; the difference is the fiber optics. The multimode model extends signals up to 400 m (1,312 ft), while the singlemode variant supports runs up to 10 km (6.21 miles). Choose multimode for in-building and campus distances and singlemode for long-haul links.

Does the NAV 10SD 101 require a NAVigator System Manager?

Yes. The NAV 10SD 101 requires an Extron NAVigator System Manager for centralized configuration, stream routing, switching, and system monitoring across NAV encoders and decoders.

Is the NAV 10SD 101 compatible with 1 Gbps NAV endpoints?

Yes. The NAV platform is fully interoperable between 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps endpoints. The PURE3 codec lets 10 Gbps streams be reduced in bitrate for decoding by 1 Gbps endpoints, supporting mixed-bandwidth deployments.

How is the NAV 10SD 101 installed?

The decoder connects to a 10 Gbps fiber network using LC connectors and is powered by the included Extron Everlast power supply. It mounts to racks, shelves, or lecterns with the included ZipClip 400 hardware and is configured through its embedded web interface and the NAVigator.

What warranty and support apply to the NAV 10SD 101?

The included Extron Everlast power supply carries a 7-year parts and labor warranty. For order-specific warranty terms, TAA-compliant or DoDIN APL versions, and integration support, contact Creation Networks, an authorized commercial AV reseller.
