As part of AV-over-IP week, Crestron introduced the DM NVX 384 encoder/decoder, their next evolution in AV-over-IP technology. This device is engineered to be scalable, flexible, efficient, and secure. It is made for a wide variety of environments, from enterprise to education, government, and even residential projects.
Key Features of the DM NVX 384
USB-C Connectivity
While there have been some barriers for USB-C in the conference room, this device eases many of the concerns. USB-C has become the go-to standard for modern laptops, smartphones, and tablets. The DM NVX 384 fully embraces this shift, providing USB-C connectivity that serves as both a video input and a USB hub for peripherals such as webcams, speakerphones, and other conferencing tools. This connectivity streamlines collaboration in the conference room, ensuring a seamless BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) experience. Whether for business or home use, USB-C support is a crucial element for future-proofing AV systems.
5K Support
As 5K resolution becomes more common, especially with 21:9 and 32:9 ultra-wide displays, the DM NVX 384 is built to handle this advanced format. These super-wide screens are increasingly used in setups like Microsoft Teams Rooms Front Row, which maximizes the full screen for collaboration. With support for resolutions up to 5120×1440 at 60 fps, the DM NVX 384 is ideal for immersive viewing, whether for high-end conference rooms or next-generation esports environments.
Integration and Scalability
The DM NVX 384 continues to build on Crestron’s core principles of scalability and seamless integration. As organizations expand and their AV needs grow more sophisticated, they require technology that can scale while maintaining reliability and near-zero latency. The DM NVX 384 offers the flexibility to deploy across enterprise, residential, hotel environments.
Crestron has also expanded its control capabilities with the XiO Cloud® technology operations management platform, a cloud-based solution that allows organizations to deploy, monitor, and manage all their Crestron devices (and supported third-party devices) from a single dashboard.
Multi-Input Switching
The DM NVX 384 is designed with four inputs—two USB-C and two HDMI—making it an incredibly versatile multi-input switcher. This feature is especially valuable in environments such as conference rooms, classrooms, and even marine settings, where multiple content sources may need to be connected and switched dynamically.
The Crestron Experience Center in Midtown Manhattan
For those who want a firsthand look at how Crestron technology can transform both commercial and residential spaces, the Crestron Experience Center in Midtown Manhattan is a must-visit. Located in the New York Design Center at 200 Lexington Avenue, this 5,100-square-foot facility showcases the latest innovations in AV solutions.
Visitors can explore real-world use cases, from BYOD video conferencing in huddle rooms to immersive home theater setups powered by Crestron Home OS. Unlike traditional trade show booths or showrooms, it provides a fully immersive experience, allowing guests to interact with technology in the same way they would in their work or home environments.
Why the DM NVX 384 Stands Out
- Scalability: Easily expands to support a growing number of meeting spaces or residential areas.
- Multi-Format Compatibility: Seamlessly switch between USB-C, HDMI, and network streams.
- 5K and Beyond: Full support for ultra-wide 21:9 and 32:9 displays, with resolutions up to 5120×1440.
- AV-over-IP Flexibility: Near-zero latency for video, audio, USB, and control signals.
- Intelligent Management: XiO Cloud platform for streamlined device management across your entire organization.
