About this Guide
This guide contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the Extron
NAV E 511 Encoder, which streams HDMI video and audio over a managed 1G IP network.
The encoder also supports USB and Ethernet extension.
NOTE: In this guide, NAV encoder and decoders collectively are referred to as
“endpoints.”
Two versions of encoder are documented in this guide. They are categorized by the
type of fiber optic cable, multimode or singlemode, which defines the effective range of
transmission:
• Multimode encoder — Long distance, up to 550 m (1804 feet)
• Singlemode encoder — Very long distance, up to 10 km (6.25 miles)
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.

NAV E 511 Encoder • Introduction 2
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. 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:
• HDCP-compliant HDMI video (which can include embedded digital audio [SMPTE 299M
and SMPTE 272M-A]) at resolutions up to 4k @ 60 Hz
• Optional analog audio
• USB 2.0 port control and data signals
• An Ethernet Extension port allows communication to the same network
You can manage the endpoints using an Extron NAVigator System Manager (see figure 1).
The base version of the NAVigator can control up to 16 endpoints. Available LinkLicense
expansion options can accommodate up to 240 endpoints.

Figure 1. Typical NAV Application
The streamed NAV signal is routed using a managed network switch and can be dedicated
to a specific LAN. AV switching can be done via a control system by interfacing to the NAV
decoder or the NAVigator.
NOTE: The RS-232 and IR communications are driven via a control system.
The encoder and decoder do not generate or respond to the RS-232 and IR
communication signals.
About the Decoder
One or more compatible decoders, such as the NAV SD 511, decode the data stream back
into the original video and audio signal formats and output them locally.

NAV E 511 Encoder • Introduction 3
System Interaction and Capabilities
Each encoder and decoder has an integrated web interface. All normal system configuration
and control is via the web interface of the NAVigator. Using a computer on the same
network and a standard web browser; such as Google Chrome™, Mozilla™ Firefox™, or
Microsoft®Edge™; you can configure any encoder or decoder unit in the system.
The embedded audio can be transported as a 2-channel LPCM uncompressed stream.
Audio can follow video to the same decoder or be broken away to a different endpoint.
A dedicated RS-232/IR port, a secure platform device (SPD), is available for distributing
RS-232 and IR data with the coded/decoded video, such as for control of a projector. Tally
and Contact Closure supports Extron Show Me Cables.
The units are housed in 1-inch high, half-rack width metal enclosures that can be mounted
in any standard 19-inch rack or under furniture with optional mounting kits.

• Do not overtighten the connector mounting screw. The shield to which it
fastens is very thin and can easily be stripped.
• Ne serrez pas trop la vis de montage du connecteur. Le blindage auquel elle
est attachée est très fin et peut facilement être dénudé.
4. Loosely place the included tie wrap around the connector and the LockIt lacing bracket
as shown (4).
5. While holding the connector securely against the lacing bracket, use pliers or similar
tools to tighten the tie wrap, then remove any excess length (5).

NOTES:
• The length of exposed wires is important. The ideal length is 3/16 inch (5 mm).
• If the stripped section of wire is longer than 3/16 inch, the exposed wires may
touch, causing a short circuit.
• If the stripped section of wire is shorter than 3/16 inch, wires can be easily pulled
out even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.
• Do not tin the wires before installing them in the connector. Tinned wires are not as
secure in the connector and could be pulled out.

from existing audio cables, see the drawing at right to identify
the tip, ring, and sleeve parts of the connector. The ring, tip,

NAV E 511 Encoder • Installation and Basic Operation 10
TP cable termination
The encoder Extension (Ext) port supports 1000Mbps (1000base T — Gigabit Ethernet),
half-duplex and full-duplex Ethernet connections. It is vital that your Ethernet cable be the
correct cable type and that it be properly terminated with the correct pinout. Ethernet links
use Category (CAT) 5e or CAT 6, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair
(STP) cables, terminated with RJ-45 connectors. Ethernet cables are limited to a length of
328 feet (100 meters).
NOTES:
• A CAT 5e cabling infrastructure is the minimum acceptable to support a NAV
system. Anything less is insufficient.
• Do not stretch or bend cables. Transmission errors can occur.
The Ethernet cable must be terminated as a patch (straight-through) cable and must be
properly terminated in accordance with the TIA/EIA T568-B wiring standard (see figure 6).

CAUTION:
ATTENTION :
• The DC output cables must be kept separate from each other while the power
supply is plugged in. Remove power before wiring.
• Les câbles de sortie CC doivent être séparés les uns des autres tant que la
source d’alimentation est branchée. Coupez l’alimentation avant d’effectuer les
raccordements.
• The length of exposed wires is critical. The ideal length is 3/16 inch (5 mm).
• Any longer and the exposed wires may touch, causing a short circuit.
• Any shorter and the wires can be easily pulled out even if tightly fastened by the
captive screws.
• La longueur des câbles exposés est primordiale. La longueur idéale est de 5mm
(3/16inches).
• S’ils sont un peu plus longs, les câbles exposés pourraient se toucher et
provoquer un court circuit.
• S’ils sont un peu plus courts, ils pourraient sortir, même s’ils sont attachés par
les vis captives.
• Do not tin the power supply leads before installing them in the connector. Tinned
wires are not as secure in the connector and could be pulled out.
• Ne pas étamer les conducteurs avant de les insérer dans le connecteur. Les câbles
étamés ne sont pas aussi bien fixés dans le connecteur et pourraient être retirés.
ATTENTION:
• This product is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed power source marked
“Class 2” or “LPS,” rated 12 VDC, 2.0 A minimum. Always use a power supply
supplied by or specified by Extron. Use of an unauthorized power supply voids all
regulatory compliance certification and may cause damage to the supply and the
end product.
• Ce produit est destiné à une utilisation avec une source d’alimentation listéeUL avec
l’appellation «Classe2» ou «LPS» et normée 12Vcc, 2,0A minimum. Utilisez
toujours une source d’alimentation fournie ou recommandée par Extron. L’utilisation
d’une source d’alimentation non autorisée annule toute conformité réglementaire et
peut endommager la source d’alimentation ainsi que le produit final.
• Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for use in air handling
spaces or in wall cavities.
• Sauf mention contraire, les adaptateurs AC/DC ne sont pas appropriés pour une
utilisation dans les espaces d’aération ou dans les cavités murales.
• The installation must always be in accordance with the applicable provisions of
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, article 725 and the Canadian Electrical
Code part 1, section 16. The power supply shall not be permanently fixed to a
building structure or similar structure.
• Cette installation doit toujours être en accord avec les mesures qui s’applique
au National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA70, article725, et au Canadian Electrical
Code, partie1, section16. La source d’alimentation ne devra pas être fixée de
façon permanente à une structure de bâtiment ou à une structure similaire.

ATTENTION:
• Power supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect voltage polarity can damage the
power supply and the unit. The ridges on the side of the cord (see figure 7 on
page 10) identify the power cord negative lead.
• La polarité de la source d’alimentation est primordiale. Une polarité incorrecte
pourrait endommager la source d’alimentation et l’unité. Les stries sur le côté du
cordon (voir l’illustration 7 sur la page 10) permettent de repérer le pôle négatif du
cordon d’alimentation.
To verify the polarity before connection, plug in the power supply with no load and check the
output with a voltmeter.
