The Crestron DM-NVX-DIR-80 is an enterprise-grade network appliance that facilitates configuration, control, and management of a large-scale AV network using DM NVX® encoder and decoder endpoints, The DM-NVX-DIR-80 virtually emulates the funtionality of a traditional hardware-based DM® matrix switcher, routing high-quality 4K streaming AV signals throughout a room, building, or campus.

The DM-NVX-DIR-80 supports a maximum of 80 DM NVX endpoints. Multiple DM NVX Director™ network appliances can be deployed to handle corporate enterprise, university, governmental, military, medical, transportation, sports, entertainment, hospitality, gaming, and retail applications.

Simple and Flexible Configuration
The DM-NVX-DIR-80 automatically discovers up to 80 DM NVX endpoints on the network, and enables each endpoint to be assigned as a logical input or output within a single domain. The DM-NVX-DIR-80 routes inputs of DM NVX endpoints to outputs of DM NVX endpoints within the domain. Each DM-NVX-DIR-80 network appliance in a system functions as a separate domain.

NOTE: For information about DM NVX Director network appliances that support multiple domains, refer to the DM-NVX-DIR-160 and DM-NVX-DIR-ENT product pages.

Easy Web-Based Setup and Control
The DM-NVX-DIR-80 provides an intuitive web-based user interface to facilitate system configuration, signal routing, and diagnostics of the complete AV network. Each domain and endpoint, as well as the inputs and outputs of each endpoint, can be designated with a user-friendly name. Navigating the entire system is easy using the search box to quickly find domains, endpoints, inputs, and outputs by name or address. A system overview screen is also provided, showing the video and audio signal status for every input and output in a graphical layout that’s easy to view and navigate.

Multicast Address Control
A custom multicast range can optionally be assigned for DM NVX encoder and decoder endpoints within a domain. The custom multicast range is determined by the assignment of a starting multicast address, the number of multicast addresses assigned to each DM NVX endpoint, and the number of DM NVX endpoints assigned to a domain. Multicast address control is accomplished by using the web interface.

Credential Management of DM NVX Endpoints
Username and password credentials can be changed simultaneously for all DM NVX encoder and decoder endpoints within a domain. Alternatively, the username and password can be changed for only particular DM NVX endpoints within a domain. Username and password credential management is accomplished by using the web interface.
