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 while keeping bitrates low enough to run reliably on converged, switched infrastructure. As a fully interoperable member of the NAV Pro AV-over-IP platform, the NAV SD 501 decodes streams from both 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps NAV encoders, making it a practical endpoint for mixed-bandwidth deployments across corporate video distribution, command and control, education, and training environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7982\/4364\/files\/navsd501-lg.jpg?v=1775839166\" alt=\"Extron NAV SD 501 1G AV-over-IP Scaling Decoder with HDMI, Ethernet, and USB\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntegrated Extron Vector 4K scaling lets the NAV SD 501 match its HDMI output to any connected display, with selectable output rates from 640x480 up to 4096x2160 and FILL or FOLLOW aspect-ratio modes. The decoder adds value beyond simple video extension: built-in USB 2.0 extension supports KVM workstations and peripherals over the same link as video, while a separate 1 Gbps LAN expansion port provides remote network connectivity for displays, cameras, and other IP-enabled devices. PoE+ powering, AES67 audio-over-IP interoperability, and SRTP stream encryption round out a decoder engineered for secure, scalable commercial AV-over-IP systems. The NAV SD 501 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 at the endpoint.

Manager?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The NAV SD 501 requires an Extron NAVigator System Manager for centralized configuration, stream routing, switching, and system monitoring. The NAVigator is the appliance that turns a set of NAV encoders and decoders into a managed AV-over-IP matrix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the NAV SD 501 compatible with 10 Gbps NAV encoders?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The NAV platform is fully interoperable between 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps endpoints. The PURE3 codec allows 10 Gbps NAV encoders to reduce bitrates so their streams can be decoded by the 1 Gbps NAV SD 501, supporting mixed-bandwidth deployments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is the NAV SD 501 powered and connected?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe decoder connects to the network over a single copper RJ-45 link carrying video, audio, USB, and Ethernet. It can be powered by PoE+ from a compliant switch or injector, or by the included Extron Everlast external power supply, over CAT 5e\/6\/6a\/7 cabling up to 328 feet (100 m).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the NAV SD 501 be used for KVM workstations?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Built-in USB 2.0 extension and HID peripheral emulation support keyboard, mouse, and USB storage devices, and the decoder works with NAV KVM workstation features for multi-display switching managed through the NAVigator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat warranty and support apply to the NAV SD 501?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe included Extron Everlast power supply carries a 7-year parts and labor warranty.
