About the Crestron DM-NVX-DIR-ENT

The DM-NVX-DIR-ENT automatically discovers up to 1000 DM NVX endpoints on the network, and each one can be assigned as a logical input or output within a domain. Up to 240 domains group endpoints into separate subsystems, and interdomain routing lets inputs in one domain reach outputs in others. Routing is controlled from the web interface or through control system programming, with full control of virtual matrices and physical endpoints.

The web-based interface handles system configuration, signal routing and diagnostics, and every domain, endpoint, input and output can be given a user-friendly name. The appliance also manages multicast addresses and DM NVX endpoint credentials. Network connections include a management port, six RJ-45 Gigabit ports, two 10GBASE-X SFP+ ports for Crestron SFP-10G transceivers and four SFP+ ports for 1000BASE-X or 10GBASE-X, so copper and fibre LANs are both supported.

Two hot-swappable power supply modules and two IEC 60320 C14 inlets, with power cords included, keep the unit running at full capacity on one working module, and a red MSG LED flags a power supply fault. Power consumption is 140 W at full CPU load and fan speed. The 1 RU chassis fits a 19-inch rack with the included brackets or stands freely, and is 44 mm high, 445 mm wide and 477 mm deep without brackets.

Questions about the Crestron DM-NVX-DIR-ENT

What is the Crestron DM-NVX-DIR-ENT?

It is a DM NVX Director network AV switching appliance for large DM NVX systems. It configures, controls and manages DM NVX encoders and decoders, emulating one or more hardware-based DM matrix switchers, and supports up to 1000 endpoints and 240 domains.

How many endpoints does the DM-NVX-DIR-ENT support?

It supports up to 1000 DM NVX devices, each configured as an encoder or a decoder, and up to 240 domains for grouping endpoints into separate subsystems. For larger systems, more than one DM-NVX-DIR-ENT can be deployed on the network.

What is interdomain routing?

Domains group endpoints into individual subsystems. Video inputs can be routed to outputs within one domain, and interdomain routing also lets inputs in one domain be routed to outputs in one or more other domains. Routes are made from the web interface or through control system programming.

What network connections does the DM-NVX-DIR-ENT have?

It has a front RJ-45 management port, six RJ-45 100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T ports and six SFP+ ports. Two SFP+ ports are 10GBASE-X and take Crestron SFP-10G transceivers, and four are 1000BASE-X/10GBASE-X ports that accept Crestron SFP-1G transceivers, giving both copper and fibre LAN connectivity.

How does the power redundancy work?

The appliance has two hot-swappable power supply modules and two IEC 60320 C14 mains inlets, with power cords included. It keeps running at full capacity on one working power supply module, and the MSG LED turns red to indicate a power supply fault. Consumption is 140 W at full CPU usage and fan speed.

How much is the Crestron DM-NVX-DIR-ENT?

Crestron asks its dealers to give the price of the DM-NVX-DIR-ENT directly rather than publish it online. Add it to your quote list and we will send you a written quote, with delivery, and installation and programming if you need them.

Can 1Install supply, install and programme the DM-NVX-DIR-ENT?

Yes. 1Install is an authorised Crestron Elite Partner with offices in Skerries, Co. Dublin and Cork. We can supply the DM-NVX-DIR-ENT on its own, or install, set up and programme it as part of your system. Installation visits are €440 for 4 hours or €880 for a full day, plus VAT and travel.

Does the DM-NVX-DIR-ENT come with a warranty?

Yes. Everything we supply is new, genuine Crestron with Crestron's standard warranty. If the DM-NVX-DIR-ENT develops a fault, contact us and we will handle the claim with Crestron. If we installed it, our workmanship is guaranteed for the lifetime of the system.

Is the DM-NVX-DIR-ENT in stock?

We order Crestron for each quote, so availability depends on Crestron's stock at the time. We check it before we quote and put the expected delivery date on your quote, so you know where you stand before you pay.

Can I buy the DM-NVX-DIR-ENT 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.
