Encoding and Decoding Functionality
A DM-NVX-36x(C) device can be configured to function as a network AV encoder
(transmitter) or decoder (receiver):
•
As an encoder, a DM NVX device allows a laptop computer, camera, or other
media source to be connected via an HDMI cable and then transmitted over the
network.
•
As a decoder, a DM NVX device receives the signal from a DM NVX encoder and
feeds the signal to a display device via the HDMI output. A DM NVX decoder can
switch streams among multiple DM NVX encoders on the network alongside
locally connected HDMI sources.
To set the operating mode of a DM-NVX-36x(C) device as a transmitter or receiver, use
the web interface or SIMPL Windows as discussed in the following sections.
NOTES:
•
When DM-NVX-36x(C) devices are used with DM
-
NVX-E30(C), DM-NVX-E760(C),
and DM-NVX-35x(C) encoders, the DM-NVX-36x(C) devices must be in Receiver
mode. When DM-NVX-36x(C) devices are used with DM-NVX-D30(C), DM-NVX-
D80-IOAV, and DM-NVX-35x(C) decoders, the DM-NVX-36x(C) devices must be in
Transmitter mode.
•
For a DM-NVX-36x surface-mountable endpoint, the SETUP button can be used to
change the operating mode from a receiver to a transmitter or from a transmitter to
a receiver. For additional information, refer to the description of the SETUP button
on page 4.
For a DM-NVX-36xC card, the front panel of the DMF-CI-8 chassis can be used to
change the operating mode. For additional information, refer to the
