Extron has introduced two new NAV encoders which stream ultra-low latency, high quality video, audio and Ethernet signals over a 10Gbps optical Ethernet interface.

Boasting a stylish wallplate design, these encoders support streaming real-time, lossless video at resolutions up to 4K@60 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma sampling.

Support for AES67 audio over IP facilitates integration with Extron’s broad range of audio DSPs or other IP-enabled audio components. NAV systems can be deployed as a high-performance IP-based video and audio matrix, combining the flexibility of an IP-based system with the integration-friendly switching features found in Extron conventional matrix switchers. Purpose-built to support demanding professional AV applications, the highly scalable and powerful NAV platform enables secure distribution of AV signals to thousands of endpoints.

Extron vice president of worldwide sales and marketing Casey Hall says the new NAV encoders feature the industry’s most advanced technology in a stylish, convenient form factor.

“This new wallplate form factor makes it easy for integrators to elegantly install NAV encoders right where they are needed, in walls, lecterns, floor boxes, or any presentation furniture that accommodates a three-gang junction box.”
