Crestron, a global leader in enterprise
control and automation technology,
announced shipping of DM XiO Director,
the new AV matrix for the IT age. An
enterprise-grade network appliance,
natively running simple yet powerful
software, the DM XiO Director centrally
congures, manages, and controls DM
NVX network AV systems.
The DM XiO Director is available in three
models, depending on the number of DM
NVX endpoints. The software tool enables
device discovery, domain conguration,
endpoint mapping, multicasting
management, and status monitoring. DM
NVX Series is the industry's only secure
solution that delivers 4K60, 4:4:4, and
HDR video over standard 1Gb Ethernet.
“Once your DM NVX network is installed,
you need to route the video and manage
the system. The DM XiO Director makes it
easy to set up large networks of
endpoints, name rooms, monitor signal
paths, and manage video data over a
standard IP network,” said Rob Carter,
Technology Manager, DigitalMedia.
Virtual DM switcher: The DM XiO
Director virtually emulates the functionality
of a traditional hardware-based
DigitalMedia matrix switcher, routing
4K60 streaming AV signals throughout a
room, building, or campus. Three models
are offered which support 80 (DM-XIO-
DIR-80), 160 (DM-XIO-DIR-160), or
unlimited (DM-XIO-DIR-ENT) endpoint
devices. DM XiO Director can handle even
the largest corporate enterprise, university,
governmental, military, medical,
transportation, sports, entertainment,
hospitality, gaming, or retail application.
Simple, exible conguration: The DM
XiO Director automatically discovers each
DM NVX endpoint on the network, and
allows each one to be assigned to a
'domain' using a simple UI. A domain is
simply 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. The DM XiO Director
effectively eliminates the need for physical

switchers in every room, replacing them
with the virtual equivalent running on the
AV network.Easy web-based setup and control: The
DM XiO Director provides an intuitive
web-based user interface to facilitate
system conguration, signal routing, and
comprehensive diagnostics of the
complete AV network. Each domain and
endpoint can be designated with a user-
friendly name. Navigating the entire
system is easy using the search box to
quickly nd 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.http://www.crestron.comS IADisplayNote Technologies announced its
most signicant update to Montage which
sees the product available as a software
only solution. This update includes a new
streaming protocol, a cloud-based
management portal, and enhanced
security and network features.Designed for the meeting spaces of large
enterprises, Montage allows multipleDisplayNote Does

users, whether they're in room, remote or
on separate networks to wirelessly cast
content from their device to a main
meeting room screen without the need for
additional hardware.Available as Windows or Android
software, Montage can now be deployed
securely onto hardware that typically exists
meeting spaces, such as Mini PCs,
Compute Sticks, Fixed PCs, or Flat Panels.
If no hardware end point is available
Montage can be deployed and delivered
on its own hardware.Users can connect with any device with
client apps for Windows, Web, iOS,
Android & Airplay support.Montage takes another giant leap forward
in terms of video performance. Users have
been able to create their own protocol
which put low-latency as priority for
Montage. At the core of this, is a new
super-fast screen grabber which produces
more frames per second, lower latency
and higher quality video streaming.
Attendees on guest networks or
connecting remotely can share content in
the exact same way as those on the
corporate network.Attendees can also connect via Web,
Windows, native iOS, native Android and
Airplay. For enterprise deployments, client
apps can be personalised to meeting
branding requirements.
