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

About the Encoder
A NAV encoder (see
video and audio stream that can be transmitted over an IP network using the Extron PURE3
Codec. 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 consists of HDCP-compliant HDMI video (which can include embedded
digital audio [SMPTE 299M and SMPTE 272M-A]) at resolutions up to 4K @ 60 Hz.
You can manage the endpoints using an Extron NAVigator System Manager (see
. The base version of the NAVigator can control up to 16 endpoints. Available LinkLicense
expansion options can accommodate up to 240 endpoints.
