Extron NAV E 511 1G Fiber Pro AV over IP Encoder - Multimode HDMI, Ethernet, and USB

Product Overview

The Extron NAV E 511 1G Fiber Multimode is a Pro AV over IP encoder that streams 4K/60 at 4:4:4 video, audio, USB 2.0, and Ethernet over a 1 Gbps multimode fiber optical network using the Extron PURE3® codec. It supports HDCP 2.3, AES67 audio over IP, SRTP stream encryption, 802.1X network access control, and integration with Extron Pro Series control systems. Compatible with NAV 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps decoders. Available at Creation Networks.

Product Description

The NAV E 511 Multimode is purpose-built for professional AV over IP deployments requiring lossless 4K/60 video extension and distribution over multimode fiber — up to 550 m (1,804 ft) — with no latency-inducing compression algorithms. The PURE3 codec delivers wavelet-based compression with Intelligent Selective Streaming (ISS) to minimize bandwidth on low-motion content. An HDMI loop-through output provides a local monitor feed. USB 2.0 extension via USB-C supports peripheral devices and KVM applications. A 1 Gbps RJ-45 LAN expansion port allows remote Ethernet devices to share the fiber run. All video and data streams are encrypted with SRTP (AES-128). The NAVigator System Manager provides centralized management, matrix switching, and third-party control integration. Integrates with Extron Pro Series control systems for encrypted RS-232 and IR control at the endpoint. Available at Creation Networks.

Key Features

• FIPS 140-2 Certified Cryptographic Module — Meets NIST/CCS guidelines for protection of sensitive data.
• Interoperable with 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps NAV Endpoints — Mix 1G and 10G decoders in the same system for flexible deployment.
• Pro Series Control Port — RS-232 and IR control of endpoint devices over the encrypted NAV network without additional control processors.
• Compact Half-Rack Enclosure — 1.00" H x 8.75" W x 6.00" D; 1.5 lbs (0.68 kg); ZipClip 400 included.

Technical Specifications

Typical Application

The NAV E 511 1G Fiber Multimode is deployed in corporate AV distribution systems, command and control centers, and campus environments where 4K/60 video, USB KVM, and Ethernet must be extended over multimode fiber to multiple displays or decoders with SRTP-encrypted, HDCP-compliant streaming.
