ANAHEIM, Calif. – Extron in Anaheim, Calif., is introducing the NAV E 222 USB-C and HDMI switching encoder, which adds USB-C input and input switching to the NAV Pro audio-visual over IP series.

This switching encoder provides audio-visual systems designers with ways to create high-performance streaming systems using versatile input switching modes that are configurable as auto or manual switching.

The switching encoder can power a USB-C device with as much as 100 Watts of power using the optional UPI 100 power inserter. The NAV E 222 supports the AES67 audio over IP standard to integrate with Extron DMP Plus DSPs or other IP-enabled audio components.

Secure deployment

The scalable and powerful NAV system enables secure deployment of audio-visual signals to thousands of end points.

NAV is for distribution and switching of ultra-low-latency, high-quality video and audio signals over an Ethernet network at low bit rates.

It delivers real-time lossless video over IP at resolutions as much as 4K/60 with 4:4:4 chroma sampling and ultra-low latency. It offers 1- and 10-gigabit-per-second encoders and decoders, and can be deployed as an IP-based video and audio matrix by combining an IP-based system with the video and audio switching features found in Extron conventional matrix switchers.
