About the Crestron DM-NAX-XSP

The HDMI input passes through to the HDMI output with support for up to 8K60 4:2:0, 8K30 4:4:4 and 4K120 4:4:4, HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision and HDCP 2.3. Audio can be sent onto the network as a 2-channel DM NAX or AES67 downmix, while multichannel audio passes through on HDMI. Dolby formats are supported up to Dolby Atmos, and eARC is available on the HDMI connection to the display.

Network audio from DM NAX and AES67 sources can also be received, so the unit can route audio to or from other DM NAX and DM NVX devices, and it is interoperable with Dante devices through AES67. For device control there is a bidirectional RS-232 port (up to 115.2k baud), an IR output (up to 1.1 MHz), two isolated relays rated 1 A at 30 VAC/VDC, a programmable digital input and CEC. Setup is through a web interface.

Power is PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at Class 4) on Ethernet 1, from a PoE+ switch, a third-party source or the Crestron DM-PSU-ULTRA-MIDSPAN, and consumption is 14 W maximum. A second Ethernet port is provided. The compact black metal chassis can be mounted behind a display or on a single rack rail with the included hardware, and measures 128 mm high, 213 mm wide and 29 mm deep.

How much is the Crestron DM-NAX-XSP?

Is the DM-NAX-XSP in stock?

Can I buy the DM-NAX-XSP without installation?

Yes. We supply Crestron to end users, with or without installation. Like most Crestron devices of this type, it needs setting up or programming before it works in a system, and we can quote for that too.
