About the System
The NAVigator and NAV endpoints form an AV over IP switching matrix on an Internet Group Management
Protocol (IGMP) Managed IP Network. The managed AV system can stream:
•
HDCP 2.3-compliant HDMI video (which can include embedded digital audio) at resolutions up to 4k@60 Hz
and 4:4:4 chroma sampling
•
Optional analog audio
•
RS-232 and IR control signals
NOTE: The RS-232 and IR communications are only controllable through an Extron Control Processor via a
Secure Platform Device (SPD) (see the Global Configurator Plus Help File). The encoder and decoder do
not generate or respond to the RS-232 and IR communication signals.
The encoders are configured for low latency multicast streaming.
The decoders tie to an encoder.
Features
•
NAVigator API for Third Party Control — An optional NAVigator LinkLicense is available to enable third-
party control of NAV systems.
•
Securely manages, configures, and controls NAV Pro AV over IP systems.
•
Each unit supports up to 240 NAV endpoints — Offers encrypted management and control up to 240 NAV
endpoints for centralized, secure management of complete Pro AV over IP systems.
•
Intuitive, web-based user interface for ease of use — Intuitive graphical web interface for configuration,
monitoring, backup/restoration, and troubleshooting.
•
Manages simultaneous configuration of multiple NAV devices — Enables bulk configuration of a large
number of devices in a single operation, saving time and simplifying setup.
•
Secure encrypted communication between all endpoints — Features secure communication ensuring any
data sent to encoders or decoders from the NAVigator is encrypted.
•
Workstation On-Screen Display — Displays an OSD on NAV decoders to enable selection of encoder
sources for keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) in multi-display workstation applications.
•
WindoWall Mode supports videowall applications — NAV scaling decoders support videowall applications
using the Extron WindoWall processing, enabling a mix of full screen and image magnification across multiple
displays. WindoWall presets provide a quick and easy way to manipulate the videowall canvas between
different image arrangements.
•
Confidence preview — Allow you to view the video output on the built-in HTML page of the NAVigator,
encoder, and decoder. This feature helps to remotely validate video output during configuration or debugging.
•
Customizable Screen Saver — Displays a user-supplied custom image, black screen, blue screen, or the
last video frame when no active video signal or stream is present.
•
Custom On-Screen Display — Configurable OSD for two lines of custom text to display video source
names, security classification levels, or other user-defined information from an encoder.
•
Custom Borders — Displays full-screen borders in a variety of colors applied by the control system. These
borders may be used in many applications such as security classification, alarm condition, or active display
identification.
•
Priority Routing — Assign custom tags to end points using NAVigator software. Tags can be used to further
classify endpoints, easily locate them on the network, or apply rules for routing with an Extron control system.
•
Power over Ethernet, or PoE, eliminates the need for a local power supply — PoE enables receipt of
power directly from the PoE switch, eliminating the need for bulky local power supplies.
•
Scalable with LinkLicense — The base NAVigator system supports 16 devices with the capability to expand
to 48, 96, or 240 with the addition of LinkLicenses.
