AMX NMX-ENC-N1134A - MPC HD-SDI Video over IP Encoder

The AMX NMX-ENC-N1134A is a powerful video over IP encoder designed to provide high-quality, minimally compressed video streaming for HD-SDI sources. This encoder seamlessly integrates SDI video onto an IP network without the need for additional SDI-to-HDMI converters, saving time and cost while delivering outstanding video quality. The NMX-ENC-N1134A utilizes the N1000 Series' Minimal Proprietary Compression (MPC) technology, ensuring visually lossless video quality with imperceptible latency, making it ideal for live video feed content. The encoder also supports AES67, allowing for high-quality, low-latency audio integration, perfect for professional AV environments.

One of the standout features of the NMX-ENC-N1134A is its ability to support HD-SDI video input, which is commonly used in broadcast environments, along with analog video signals via VGA or component inputs (using passive adapters). The encoder can process resolutions up to 1920x1200 for progressive formats and supports interlaced 1080i60 video. The inclusion of both HDMI and HD-SDI video outputs, as well as a passthrough HD-SDI connection, ensures that the encoder fits seamlessly into a wide variety of AV systems, providing flexibility in how video sources are routed to displays and other devices.

The NMX-ENC-N1134A is equipped with two network ports, including one that supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing for simplified installation without the need for an external power supply. This also eliminates the need for additional cabling, making it an ideal solution for installations where minimizing wiring complexity is a priority. The encoder supports an SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) fiber optic port for long-distance video transmission, ensuring that the video feed can be extended beyond the reach of traditional Cat5e or Cat6 cables. The encoder also includes infrared (IR) output for controlling IR-only devices like basic displays, along with serial RS232 control for more advanced integration with external equipment.

With its output scaling feature, the NMX-ENC-N1134A can adjust video resolutions to match the display requirements, ensuring optimal viewing quality across multiple devices. The encoder also integrates seamlessly with AMX's NetLinx control system, simplifying control and automation for end-users. Combined with the device's native support for SVSI N-Series decoders, the NMX-ENC-N1134A provides an affordable yet highly effective solution for AV-over-IP systems that require high-quality, low-latency video and audio distribution across a network.

The NMX-ENC-N1134A is perfect for use in broadcasting, live events, and professional AV installations where maintaining high-quality video with minimal latency is a priority. Its ability to integrate SDI video directly into an IP network with ease, along with its versatile input/output options, makes it a standout choice for AV professionals looking to build flexible and scalable video distribution systems.
