NAV E 501 and NAV E 101 Encoders • Introduction
2
You can manage the endpoints using an Extron NAVigator System Manager (see figure 1).
The base version of the NAVigator can control up to 16 endpoints with an expansion option
that can accommodate up to 240 endpoints.

Typical NAV Application
The streamed NAV signal can also be routed using a managed network switch and can be
dedicated to a specific VLAN. AV switching can be done via a control system by interfacing
to the NAV decoder or the NAVigator.
NOTE:
The RS-232 and IR communications are passive pass-through only.
The encoder and decoder do not generate or respond to the RS-232 and IR
communication signals.
About the Decoder
One or more compatible decoders, such as the NAV SD 501 or NAV SD 101, decode the
data stream back into the original video and audio signal formats and output them locally.
About all Units in the System
Each encoder and decoder has an integrated web interface. All normal system configuration
and control is via the web interface of the NAVigator. Using a computer on the same
network and a standard web browser; such as Google Chrome™, Mozilla™ Firefox™, or
Microsoft
®
Edge™; you can configure any encoder or decoder unit in the system.
The embedded audio can be transported as a 2-channel LPCM uncompressed stream.
Audio can follow video to the same decoder or be broken away to a different endpoint.
A dedicated RS-232/IR port, a secure platform device (SPD), is available for distributing
RS-232 and IR data with the coded/decoded video, such as for control of a projector. Tally
and Contact Closure supports Extron Show Me Cables.
The units are housed in 1-inch high, half-rack width metal enclosures that can be mounted
in any standard 19-inch rack or under furniture with optional mounting kits.
The external 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz power supply provides worldwide power
compatibility.
