ProAVNews: Extron Introducing Our New Compact and Economical Encoder - The NAV E 121

Extron is excited to introduce the NAV E 121 compact encoder, the latest addition to our award-winning NAV® Pro AV over IP Series, that's NOW SHIPPING. The NAV E 121 streams ultra-low latency, high quality HDMI video and audio over 1 Gbps copper Ethernet and standard IP networks. This new economical NAV encoder is just half the size of competing encoders, yet it offers the same ground-breaking performance and is fully compatible with our existing NAV models. Featuring our patented PURE3® codec, the NAV E 121 delivers real-time streaming of visually lossless video at resolutions up to 4K/60 with 4:4:4 chroma sampling and ultra-low latency over 1 Gbps.

The NAV E 121 features an HDMI 2.0 loop-thru for local display or confidence monitoring and an RS-232 control port. Support for embedded digital HDMI and 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 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.
