Chapter 1: Introducing Your New N2400 Series Devices
Product Overview
The N2400 AV over IP Series belongs to the N-Series product family from AMX. This series provides a flexible, feature-rich, and
simple-to-deploy digital media distribution and switching solution satisfying the most demanding applications. N-Series video over
IP Encoders are used to encode and distribute sources of almost any format onto an existing IP network, making that stream
available to any endpoint in the facility. Video over IP Decoders are used to decode N-Series Networked audio/video (AV) streams
back to HDMI or DVI format for display on any monitor. With the ability to direct any source stream to any display, large, low-cost
switching and distribution systems are simple to deploy without proprietary cabling or dedicated switching hardware. Plug-n-play,
auto-detect technology reduces installation and programming time.
Features include:
Output Scaling – scaling performed in Decoders for maximum flexibility.
Power over Ethernet (PoE+) eliminates the need for a local power supply and speeds installation. Units can still be powered
locally by 12VDC. This allows easy rack-mountable, high-density installations.
Active Directory support provided using Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
Secure command connection provided using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols.
Infrared (IR) emitter connections allows control of low-cost, IR-only display devices. IR input captures and transmits over
the network to units with IR emitters (IR receivers and emitters required).
Fast install with Phoenix connectors for power, IR, RS232 serial, and analog audio interfaces.
Pass-through HDMI interface allows easy installation with local display, such as desktop PC applications.
USB-A and USB Mini-B connections for KVM applications.
Native NetLinx support provided. NetLinx Studio will easily recognize the device.
