Crestron DM XiO Director simplifies the management of AV networks with DMX NVX systems

This AV matrix is available in three models that respond to the number of terminals it supports: 80 (DM-XIO-DIR-80), 160 (DM-XIO-DIR-160) or unlimited (DM-XIO-DIR-ENT).

DM XiO Director is the new AV matrix developed by Crestron with which it is possible to configure, centrally manage and control the AV systems of the DMX NVX network.

This matrix, which can be seen in Ise 2018, It is available in three models, according to the number of DM NVX terminals. Software tool allows device detection, Domain settings, Terminal Assignment, Multicast management and network health monitoring. DM NVX Series is the industry's only secure solution offering 4K60 video, 4:4: 4 and HDR over standard Ethernet 1 GB.

“Once the DM NVX network is installed, Route video and manage the system. DM XiO Director makes it easy to set up large endpoint networks, Namerooms, signal path monitoring and video data management over a standard IP network”, explains Rob Carter, Technology Manager de DigitalMedia.

Virtual DM switch

DM XiO Director virtually emulates the functionality of a traditional hardware-based DigitalMedia matrix switch, routing 4K60 broadcast AV signals through a room, Building or campus.

It is available in three models with support for devices with 80 Terminals (DM-XIO-DIR-80), 160 (DM-XIO-DIR-160) or unlimited (DM-XIO-DIR-ENT).

DM XiO Director can manage a wide variety of applications: Corporate, University, Government, Military, Medical, transport, Sports, entertainment, Hospitality, Gaming or retail.

Configuration and management

DM XiO Director automatically detects DM NVX terminals on the network, assigning a domain to each of them using an easy-to-use user interface. A domain is simply a logical grouping of terminals that operate together as a single switching entity, allowing individual rooms and other subsystems to be independently organized and controlled. DM XiO Director eliminates the need for physical switches in each room, replacing them with the virtual equivalent running on the AV network.

DM XiO Director provides intuitive web-based user interface for easy system configuration, signal transmission and complete diagnostics of the AV network. Each domain and terminal can be designated with an easy-to-use name.

Navigating the entire system is easy using the search box that allows you to quickly find domains and terminals, as well as entries and exits by name or address. A system overview screen is also provided, that displays the audio and video signal status for each input and output in a graphic design that is easy to view and navigate.
