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
A NAV encoder inputs an HDMI video signal and generates a video and audio stream
that can be transmitted over an IP network using the Extron PURE3 Codec algorithm to
compress the data. The PURE3 Codec 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.
The data stream can include:

Features
NAV E 501 Encoder — Streams HDMI video and audio over a managed 1G IP
network. Also supports USB and Ethernet extension.
NAV E 101 Encoder — Streams HDMI video and audio over a managed 1G IP
network.
•
The NAV E 501 and NAV E 101 are both referred to as an "encoder." They are
referenced by model name when differences exist.
•
NAV encoders and decoders collectively are referred to as "endpoints."
