Extron NAV Pro AV over IP
NAV moves 4K/60 4:4:4 video, audio, USB and control over standard 1G and 10G networks with ultra-low latency — replacing the traditional matrix switcher with infrastructure that scales by adding endpoints.
What it is
Any source, any display, one network — at Extron reliability.
The matrix switcher had a good fifty-year run, but AV-over-IP won: NAV distributes video over the network you already run, scales by adding endpoints instead of replacing frames, and routes anything to anywhere the fibre reaches.
Extron's PURE3 codec is the differentiator — visually lossless 4K/60 4:4:4 with latency low enough for live camera magnification and operator KVM, which is why NAV lands in courtrooms, control rooms and command environments where compression artefacts aren't a taste issue but a liability.
With interoperable 1G and 10G families, we design NAV systems that put the bandwidth where it's needed: 10G lossless to the video wall, 1G to the overflow rooms, USB and control riding the same infrastructure.
Key specs.
- Performance
- Up to 4K/60 with 4:4:4 chroma and ultra-low latency using Extron's PURE3 codec — visually lossless where pixels are evidence
- Scale
- 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps encoder/decoder families, fully interoperable on one system
- Endpoints
- Rack, compact, wallplate and fibre encoders (including USB-C switching models) plus scaling decoders
- Beyond video
- USB 2.0 and KVM routing over the same system — operator positions divorced from the machines that drive them
- Management
- NAVigator system manager for routing, presets and security across the deployment
- Pedigree
- Extron build quality and support — the brand control rooms and courtrooms standardise on
How we deploy it.
- Network design with your IT team or on dedicated AV switching — multicast architecture, VLANs and QoS engineered before hardware is ordered.
- Endpoint mix specified per location: wallplates in rooms, fibre for distance, USB-C where laptops present.
- Routing presets, NAVigator management and operator training at handover — plus Focus Care support after.
Where it earns its keep
Applications.
Control rooms
Any feed to any operator or wall position with lossless quality and KVM back to the rack room.
Courts & justice
Evidence distribution where fidelity and security are procedural requirements, not preferences.
Campuses & venues
Campus-wide routing of lectures, events and signage over existing fibre — one system, hundreds of endpoints.
Divisible spaces
Ballrooms and training floors that re-patch themselves per room configuration, from a touch panel.
