Extron has released the NAV E 121 compact encoder, the latest addition to the NAV Pro AV-over-IP series. It streams ultra-low latency, high-quality HDMI video and audio over 1Gbps copper Ethernet and standard IP networks. Reportedly half the size of other encoders on the market, it features the Extron-patented PURE3 codec and delivers real-time streaming of visually lossless video at resolutions up to 4K/60 with 4:4:4 chroma sampling and ultra-low latency over 1Gbps.
The NAV E 121 features an HDMI 2.0 loop-thru for local display or confidence monitoring and an RS-232 control port. Support for AES67 audio-over-IP facilitates integration with Extron’s broad range of audio DSPs or other IP-enabled audio components. NAV systems can be deployed as a high-performance, IP-based video and audio matrix, combining the flexibility of an IP-based system with the integration-friendly features found in Extron conventional matrix switchers. Purpose-built to support demanding professional AV applications, the scalable NAV platform provides secure distribution of AV signals to thousands of endpoints.
Meanwhile, the company has also released the DTP3 T 101 D, a one-gang decorator-style transmitter for sending HDMI up to 100m over a shielded Cat6A cable. It extends video resolutions up to 4K/60 at 4:4:4 without compression to provide optimal image quality. This HDCP 2.3-compliant transmitter includes EDID Minder, a comprehensive EDID management technology for dependable content display. It also supports multiple embedded audio formats. It can be powered remotely by a DTP3-enabled product or with the included Extron Everlast power supply.
The DTP3 T 101 D provides reliable transmission of HDMI signals, supporting CEC pass-through and embedded HD lossless audio formats. To ensure direct compatibility and optimal signal transmission between devices, DDC communication of EDID and HDCP is continuously maintained between a source and display. The transmitter also provides integrator-friendly features designed to help simplify installation and can be remotely powered over the shielded Cat6A cable. It can also be used in point-to-point applications to support sources at remote locations. For integration convenience, the DTP3 T 101 D includes a one-gang decorator-style wallplate.
