Product Manual – DOC. 7839L DM-NVX-35x(C) Encoders/Decoders •1
Introduction
Crestron® DM NVX® network AV encoders/decoders transport ultra high-definition
4K video with 60 Hz frame rates and 4:4:4 color sampling over standard Gigabit
Ethernet. Support for High Dynamic Range (HDR) video and HDCP 2.2 ensures high
picture quality and compatibility with a variety of media sources. Using Pixel Perfect
Processing technology, a video signal is encoded and then decoded to achieve
imperceptible end-to-end latency of less than 1 frame.
DM-NVX-35x(C) encoders/decoders consist of the following:
•Surface-mountable endpoints: DM-NVX-350, DM-NVX-351, and DM-NVX-352.
Compact in design, the endpoints are designed to fit in various locations, for
example, behind a flat panel display.
•Card endpoints: DM-NVX-350C, DM-NVX-351C, and DM-NVX-352C. The cards
are designed to occupy the DMF-CI-8 card chassis.
The DM-NVX-351 and DM-NVX-351C provide the same functionality as the
DM-NVX-350 and DM-NVX-350C with the addition of surround sound to stereo
downmixing. The DM-NVX-352 and DM-NVX-352C provide the same functionality as the
DM-NVX-350 and DM-NVX-350C with the addition of Dante® audio networking.
All DM-NVX-35x(C) devices offer encoding and decoding capabilities in a single unit.
NOTE: DM-NVX-35x(C) encoders/decoders are compatible with DM-NVX-36x(C)
encoders/decoders, DM-NVX-E30(C) encoders, DM-NVX-D30(C) decoders, and
DM-NVX-D80-IOAV decoders. Scaling is supported by DM-NVX-35x(C) and
DM-NVX-36x(C) decoders only.

Encoding and Decoding Functionality
A DM-NVX-35x(C) device can be configured to function as a network AV encoder
(transmitter) or decoder (receiver):
•As an encoder, a DM NVX device allows a laptop computer, camera, or other
media source to be connected via an HDMI cable and then transmitted over the
network.
•As a decoder, a DM NVX device receives the signal from a DM NVX encoder and
feeds the signal to a display device via the HDMI output. A DM NVX decoder can
switch streams among multiple DM NVX encoders on the network alongside
locally connected HDMI sources.
To set the operating mode of a DM-NVX-35x(C) device as a transmitter or receiver, use
the web interface or SIMPL Windows as discussed in the following sections.

NOTES:
•When DM-NVX-35x(C) devices are used with DM-NVX-E30(C) and DM-NVX-36x(C)
encoders, the DM-NVX-35x(C) devices must be in Receiver mode. When DM-NVX-
35x(C) devices are used with DM-NVX-D30(C), DM-NVX-D80-IOAV, and DM-NVX-
36x(C) decoders, the DM-NVX-35x(C) devices must be in Transmitter mode.
•For a DM-NVX-35x surface-mountable endpoint, the SETUP button can be used to
change the operating mode from a receiver to a transmitter or from a transmitter to
a receiver. For additional information, refer to the description of the SETUP button
on page 5.
For a DM-NVX-35xC card, the front panel of the DMF-CI-8 chassis can be used to
change the operating mode. For additional information, refer to the DMF-CI-8
Supplemental Guide (Doc. 7861).
Using the Web Interface
To set the DM-NVX-35x(C) operating mode:
1. Click the Settings tab and then click Stream.
2. In the Mode drop-down list, select Receiver or Transmitter. The default setting is
Receiver (decoder).

Device Reboot Prompt
For additional information, refer to the online help of the web interface.
Using SIMPL Windows
Using the top-level programming slot for the DM-NVX-35x(C) device, set the
<DeviceMode>analog input join to the desired mode (Receiver or Transmitter).
The default setting is Receiver.
Changing modes requires that the device be rebooted. Trigger the <Reboot> digital
input join to reboot the device. For additional information, refer to the SIMPL Windows
help file.
Automatic Point-to-Point Connectivity
Point-to-point connectivity enables a DM NVX encoder to be connected directly to a
DM NVX decoder to stream video, audio, and USB. Rather than being connected to an
Ethernet switch, a 1000BASE-T Ethernet port of an encoder is connected directly to a
1000BASE-T port of a decoder. By default, point-to-point mode is enabled (set to Auto)
and can be disabled if desired.
When point-to-point mode is enabled, no additional configuration is required for the
encoder or decoder to operate in point-to-point mode; however, the operating mode of a
DM-NVX-35x(C) device must be set correctly. If the device is to function as an encoder,
the operating mode must be set to Transmitter. If the device is to function as a decoder,
the operating mode must be set to Receiver. For information about setting the
operating mode of DM-NVX-35x(C) devices, refer to Encoding and Decoding
Functionality.
To enable or disable point-to-point mode, use the web interface or SIMPL Windows as
discussed in the following sections.

Using the Web Interface
Enable or disable point-to-point mode by clicking the Settings tab and then clicking
System Setup.
In the Point-to-Point Control section, Point to Point Status indicates whether point-to-
point mode is Active or Inactive.
In the Point-to-Point Modedrop-down list, select either of the following:
•Auto: (Default setting) A 1000BASE-T port of a DM NVX encoder detects a
direct connection to a DM NVX decoder or a connection to a 1000BASE-T switch.
Similarly, a 1000BASE-T port of a DM NVX decoder detects a direct connection
to a DM NVX encoder or a connection to a 1000BASE-T switch. If a direct
connection between an encoder and decoder is detected, point-to-point mode is
automatically enabled.
•Disable: Disables point-to-point mode
To enable or disable point-to-point mode, use the web interface or SIMPL Windows as
discussed in the following sections.
