DM NVX® 4K60 4:2:0 Network AV Encoders and Decoders • 5
Copper Ethernet Connectivity
The DM NVX device includes one RJ-45 1000BASE-T Ethernet port. For the DM-NVX-D200, the
port is PoE+ compliant, enabling the device to be powered via a PoE+ Ethernet switch. For the
DM-NVX-E20 and DM-NVX-D20, the port is PoE compliant, enabling the device to be powered
via a PoE Ethernet switch. For information about network requirements and guidelines, refer to
the
DM NVX AV-over-IP System Design Guide
.
Automatic Point-to-Point Connectivity
For the DM-NVX-E20, automatic point-to-point connectivity enables the encoder to be
connected directly to a DM-NVX-D20, DM-NVX-D200, or any DM NVX 4K60 4:4:4 product that
can function as a decoder in order to stream video and audio. For the DM-NVX-D20 or DM-NVX-
D200, automatic point-to-point connectivity enables the decoder to be connected directly to a
DM-NVX-E20 or DM-NVX-E10 to stream video and audio.
By default, point-to-point mode automatically detects whether an encoder is connected directly
to a supported decoder or to a 1000BASE-T switch. Similarly, point-to-point mode
automatically detects whether a decoder is connected directly to a supported encoder or to a
1000BASE-T switch. When a direct connection between the encoder and decoder is detected,
the devices operate in point-to-point mode without the need for additional configuration.
The web interface or a control system can be used to disable point-to-point mode or to enable
automatic detection of point-to-point connectivity.
Device Control via RS-232, IR, and CEC
The DM-NVX-E20 includes COM (RS-232) and IR ports for control of source devices under the
management of a control system. Additional control capability is provided by CEC (Consumer
Electronics Control) over the HDMI connection. Under the management of a control system, the
DM-NVX-E20 can control a source device via CEC, potentially eliminating the need for dedicated
serial cables or IR emitters.
The DM-NVX-D20 and DM-NVX-D200 also include COM (RS-232) and IR ports for control of
devices under the management of a control system. Additional control capability is also provided
by CEC over the HDMI connection. Under the management of a control system, the DM-NVX-
D20 and DM-NVX-D200 can control the display device via CEC, potentially eliminating the need
for dedicated serial cables or IR emitters. The COM port, IR port, and CEC over the HDMI output
can also enable the display device to be turned on or off automatically without the use of a
control system.
Web-Based Setup
Setup of the DM NVX device is accomplished by using a web browser. Full control and monitoring
of the device is enabled through integration with a control system or with a DM NVX Director®
virtual switching appliance.
