The NHD-500-DNT-TX is part of the powerful NetworkHD 500 series family of products. Capable of encoding up to 4K60 including Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG content. The 500 series comes loaded with a number of advanced features such as the flexibility of Ethernet or Fiber as a transport method. Ultra-low latency encoding and incredibly fast matrix switching speeds enhance the experience. Unique to this encoder is an integrated 2 channel Dante & AES67 audio output.

–

DANTE & AES67

The integrated 2 channel Dante & AES67 output allows audio to be sent over the network to compatible Dante & AES67 enabled DSPs, amplifiers, mixers and more. Audio can be transmitted via Dante from either the encoder’s HDMI input or a separate analog input.

AUDIO ISOLATION

Dante audio and NetworkHD A/V can be integrated into the same network or separated via a dedicated Dante-only port. If 3rd-party Dante equipment exists on a dedicated network, simply connect the Dante-only port to keep things separate and avoid complicated network configurations.

HDMI 2.0 ENCODING

Capable of encoding full HDMI 2.0 content. This includes 4K60 4:4:4 8bit and high dynamic range video including Dolby Vision, HDR10 & HLG up to 12bit 4:2:2 at 60Hz over a 1GbE network.

ETHERNET OR FIBER

Equipped with both Ethernet and Fiber outputs, the 500 series offers flexibility for any installation. Ethernet can support transmissions up to 100m (328ft) and fiber is capable of a stunning 550m (1800ft) using OM3 MMF.

SECURITY

Equipped with the latest security protocols including SSH and HTTPS. Data and communications from the 500 series in encrypted end-to-end.

ULTRA-LOW LATENCY

Less than a single frame a latency (16ms) when in passthrough mode allows content to be distributed without any perceivable delay.

NETWORKHD TOUCH

The 500s are fully compatible with the NetworkHD Touch control app. Effortlessly control matrix and video wall switching with preview streams of each encoder.
