Extron NAV D 121 1G Pro AV over IP Compact Decoder - HDMI

The NAV D 121 is a compact Pro AV over IP decoder that receives real-time, high-quality video and audio signals over 1 Gbps IP networks at low bitrates. Utilizing Extron’s patented PURE3® codec, it delivers groundbreaking performance with high quality video at resolutions up to 4K/60 with 4:4:4 chroma sampling and ultra-low latency. The NAV D 121 is compatible with NAV® endpoints, increasing scalability for large deployments. It also features an HDMI output with RS-232, Digital I/O, and IR ports to extend control system reach beyond the physical location of the processor, eliminating the need for additional control processors at the endpoints. Purpose-built to support demanding professional AV applications, the highly scalable and powerful NAV platform enables secure deployment of AV signals to thousands of endpoints.

PURE3 Codec

NAV encoders and decoders utilize the latest evolution of the Extron PURE3 codec. This patented, wavelet-based compression technology offers improved network resiliency. The PURE3 codec tolerates bursty network traffic found on converged networks while exceeding the performance characteristics of standards-based compression systems. Others rely on delicate third-party codecs that fail when exposed to unpredictable network traffic. Those codecs require costly isolated networks, but PURE3 is the ONLY codec designed for the Pro AV industry that delivers robust, pristine video on converged or isolated networks. With sub-frame latency, PURE3 processes video signals with 4:4:4 color quantization, while maintaining the original source quality and native resolution. PURE3 Intelligent Selective Streaming is an exclusive Extron technology that leverages periods of low motion in streamed content to enhance streaming performance. The PURE3 codec also features advanced error concealment, providing high immunity to network errors such as bit errors, jitter, out-of-order, and dropped data packets. PURE3 error concealment provides robust picture delivery without the increased latency or bandwidth typically introduced by other error correction schemes.

1 Gbps Ethernet

Designed for 1 Gbps IP networks, the NAV D 121 receives high quality video and audio, delivering an accurate reproduction of original source content. By using standard 1000Base-T 1 Gbps copper Ethernet infrastructure, the NAV D 121 facilitates flexible system design and cost-effective streaming over large distances. The NAV D 121 can be remotely powered with PoE+ powering from a PoE-compliant network switch or PoE injector, eliminating the need for external power supplies. Ideal for corporate video distribution, command and control, education, and training applications, the NAV D 121 is a perfect solution for any installation where reliable, high-quality AV over IP video distribution is desired.

HDCP 2.3

The NAV D 121 is fully compliant with HDCP 2.3 for transmission of UHD content encrypted with the HDCP standard. It also features Extron Key Minder® to enhance and simplify the integration of HDMI-equipped devices. For HDMI signals with protected content, Key Minder authenticates and maintains continuous HDCP encryption to support quick and reliable transmission across a network infrastructure. If HDCP-encrypted content is streamed to a non-compliant display, the receiver sends a full-screen green signal, providing immediate visual feedback that the protected content cannot be viewed on the display.

Quick and Reliable Switching

NAV systems are not limited to video extension and distribution. Multiple encoders and decoders can be deployed together to create an IP-based video and audio matrix. NAV Pro AV over IP solutions provide the flexibility of an IP-based system, with the integration-friendly video and audio switching features found in Extron conventional matrix switchers, such as Key Minder, EDID Minder®, and USB and audio breakaway. Design a IP-based switching system with multiple endpoints and an Extron Pro Series control system for secure switching. The NAVigator System Manager enhances matrix switching capabilities, featuring advanced control and enterprise-level system monitoring.

Priority Routing enables users to create custom tags to ensure that data is properly segregated, and endpoints are more easily located. Users can assign multiple tags to an endpoint using NAVigator software. Used in conjunction with an Extron control system, tags can be leveraged to classify, segregate, or quickly locate endpoints. Priority Routing is useful in systems with multiple security classification levels or in applications that manage many rooms over an enterprise or campus.

Easy Setup and Configuration

The NAV D 121 features a built-in, user-friendly web interface for easy access to network settings and other parameters from a standard web browser. In addition to the web interface, the NAV D 121 supports configuration from Extron PCS – Product Configuration Software. Deployments will benefit from the NAVigator System Manager, a powerful, purpose-built appliance for centralized configuration, management, and control of NAV systems.

Security

All NAV endpoints support 802.1X port-based Network Access Control. When applied, 802.1X authentication requires that all devices are approved before network access is granted. Support for Microsoft® Active Directory simplifies user management and group authentication, helping to maintain strong security policies. Furthermore, SRTP - Secure Real-Time Transport Protocol ensures encryption, message authentication, and data integrity of video and data streams. NAV systems work natively with Extron Pro Series control systems, which feature a Secure Platform Interface that encrypts all commands from control processor to endpoint. Together, NAV and Extron Pro Series control systems create the most secure and reliable Pro AV over IP solution on the market. With the NAVigator System Manager, all communication between the manager and endpoints is encrypted with SSH – Secure Shell protocol. The highly secure nature of the NAV D 121 ensures peace of mind for any modern Pro AV application running over a network.

System Monitoring and Control

The NAVigator System Manager turns the NAV system into a powerful and flexible IP‑based matrix solution. The NAVigator is a purpose‑built appliance with an intuitive, user‑friendly interface for centralized management and control of NAV deployments. In addition to easy setup, configuration, and quick switching, the NAVigator includes extensive features for monitoring, diagnostics, and troubleshooting NAV systems. It also enables simultaneous configuration, bulk firmware upgrades, backup, and restoration of multiple NAV endpoints from a single browser. An optional NAVigator LinkLicense is available to enable third-party control of NAV systems. These third-party control systems can use SIS commands* to make and break NAV connections in addition to various other functions. However, Extron Pro Series control system integration with the NAVigator is required to control Secure Platform Devices on NAV endpoints such as RS‑232 and IR control ports. The NAVigator System Manager acts as a centralized communication bridge for secure, end‑to‑end AES encrypted control of all attached devices.

*The third-party control LinkLicense does not enable control of SPD devices.

Pro Series Control

NAV endpoints have built-in Pro Series control ports such as RS‑232, Digital I/O, and IR effectively expanding Extron Pro Series control systems beyond the physical location of the control processor. This unique Extron feature eliminates the need for additional control processors at the endpoints. NAV Pro Series control ensures cost-effective, encrypted control of devices anywhere the network can reach. NAV is an ideal solution for any application requiring device control, flexible video and audio switching, and reliable transmission of high-quality content over long distances.

Scalability

The NAV platform is the only solution featuring seamless, complete interoperability between 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps encoders and decoders. NAV leverages the PURE3 codec, making it possible to stream video from 1 Gbps encoders to 10 Gbps decoders or reduce bitrates from 10 Gbps encoders so that streams can be readily decoded by 1 Gbps decoders. This flexibility ensures reliable delivery of superior quality video with ultra-low latency across your entire enterprise.
