8K60 4:2:0, 4K120 4:4:4, and HDR Support
The DM-NAX-XSP supports video resolutions up to 8K60 with 4:2:0 color sampling, 8K30 4:4:4, or 4K120 4:4:4. HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision video formats are also supported.
eARC Support
The HDMI output of the DM-NAX-XSP supports Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC) connectivity, allowing audio to be extracted from a connected display and transmitted over the network as a DM NAX AoIP stream. This connection also allows local audio content from the display (such as smart TV streaming applications) to be encoded as streams available to an AoIP audio distribution system.
Surround Sound and Downmixing
The HDMI input and eARC connections of the DM-NAX-XSP support Dolby audio formats including Dolby Atmos and DTS formats including DTS:X. Digital audio formats received at the HDMI input can be passed through to the HDMI output. Supported surround sound formats can be downmixed to stereo via the built-in DSP to transmit a 2-channel AoIP stream onto the network.
Device Control via RS-232, IR, Relay, and Digital Input Ports
The DM-NAX-XSP includes built-in COM (RS-232), IR, relay, and digital input ports for controlling source devices and accessories.
CEC Control
CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) can control compatible source and display devices via the HDMI connection, eliminating the need for dedicated serial cables or IR emitters. CEC over the HDMI output can also turn the connected display on or off without additional programming.
Audio-over-IP
DM NAX takes audio distribution to a whole new level by putting it on the network. The DM-NAX-XSP sends and receives DM NAX and AES67 encoded audio over a standard IP network. A single DM NAX system can handle audio distribution between 32 DM NAX devices and supports up to 256 audio output zones. DM NAX devices can seamlessly pull and distribute the audio from DM NVX sources.
