The DM
®
XiO Director, model DM-XIO-DIR-160, is an enterprise-grade
network appliance that facilitates configuration, control, and management
of a large-scale AV network. Using DM NVX encoder/decoders, Crestron
®
offers the industry’s most versatile and scalable solution for distributing
4K60 4:4:4 HDR video over an IP network. The XiO Director provides a
means for managing large networks of DM NVX devices, routing AV signals,
and simplifying integration with one or more Crestron control systems.
Virtual DM
®
Switcher
The XiO Director virtually emulates the functionality of a traditional
hardware-based DigitalMedia
™
matrix switcher, routing high-quality
4K streaming AV signals throughout a room, building, or campus. The
DM-XIO-DIR-160 model supports a total of 160 endpoint devices consisting
of DM NVX encoders and decoders. Multiple XiO Director units can be
deployed, with the ability to route signals between units just like hardware
switchers
[1]
, easily handling even the largest corporate enterprise,
university, governmental, military, medical, transportation, sports,
entertainment, hospitality, gaming, or retail application.
Simple, Flexible Configuration
System configuration could not be simpler. The XiO Director automatically
discovers each DM NVX endpoint on the network, and allows each endpoint
to be assigned as a logical input or output within a “domain.” A domain is
a logical grouping of endpoints that operate together as a single switching
entity, allowing individual rooms and other subsystems to be arranged
and controlled independently. It’s like having multiple independent matrix
switchers in a single rack space. The XiO Director effectively eliminates the
need for physical switchers in every room, replacing them with the virtual
equivalent running on the AV network.
Note: The DM-XIO-DIR-160 supports a maximum of 20 domains. For larger
systems, use multiple units or use model DM-XIO-DIR-ENT, which supports
240 domains and includes additional “enterprise” features. Refer to the
DM-XIO-DIR-ENT spec sheet for more information.
Easy Web-based Setup and Control
The XiO Director provides an intuitive web-based user interface to facilitate
system configuration, signal routing, and comprehensive diagnostics of the
complete AV network. Each domain and endpoint, as well as the inputs and
outputs on each endpoint, can be designated with a user-friendly name.
Navigating the entire system is easy using the search box
[1]
to quickly find
domains, endpoints, inputs, and outputs by name or address. A system
overview screen is also provided, showing the video and audio signal
status for every input and output in a graphical layout that’s easy to view
and navigate.
