About this Guide
This guide contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the
NAV E 101 DTP Encoder. The encoder bridges the Extron DTP family of products into the
Extron NAV family of streaming products. The NAV products stream video, audio, and serial
communications over a managed IP network using multicast streaming technology.
NOTE: In this manual:
• The NAV E 101 DTP is referred to as an “encoder” or “DTP encoder”.
• Encoders and decoders collectively are referred to as “endpoints”.
About the NAV System
The Extron NAV decoders and one or more compatible encoders form an AV distribution
and switching matrix on an Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) managed IP
network. The encoders are configured for low latency multicast streaming. The decoders
are configured to join the assigned multicast group.
About the Encoder
The DTP encoder receives an input from an Extron DTP source. The proprietary DTP signal
can include:
• HDCP-compliant HDMI video (which can include embedded digital audio [SMPTE 299M
and SMPTE 272M-A]) at resolutions up to 4K30 [4:4:4]).
•
Optional analog audio
• RS-232 and IR control signals
The encoder compresses the DTP input into a data stream, and streams the coded signal
across an IP network using the Extron PURE3 Codec algorithm. PURE3 exceeds many of
the performance characteristics of existing compression formats and provides exceptionally
robust protection against network errors, making it ideal for quality-critical applications.
You can manage the endpoints using an Extron NAVigator System Manager (see figure 1
on page 2). The base version of the NAVigator can control up to 16 endpoints with an
expansion option that can accommodate up to 240 endpoints.
