AMX NMX-ENC-N2412A - JPEG 2000 4K60 4:4:4 and HDR Video Over IP Encoder

The AMX NMX-ENC-N2412A is a state-of-the-art JPEG 2000 encoder designed for seamless distribution of 4K60 4:4:4 and HDR video over IP networks. This high-performance encoder offers cinema-quality video with minimal latency, utilizing JPEG2000 compression to deliver stunning video with a bandwidth-efficient footprint. Supporting resolutions up to 4096x2160 (DCI 4K) at 60 frames per second, it allows users to achieve unparalleled video quality for the most demanding AV applications.

Incorporating support for HDR10, the NMX-ENC-N2412A delivers richer color and deeper contrast, ensuring that high dynamic range content is rendered with precision and clarity. The encoder is also fully compatible with HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2, allowing it to handle the latest 4K sources and displays. Whether used in corporate, educational, or entertainment environments, the encoder's ability to support high-end video sources while maintaining high fidelity across the network makes it an ideal choice for professional AV systems.

The NMX-ENC-N2412A provides exceptional flexibility in terms of video input options, supporting HDMI, DVI-D, Dual-Mode DisplayPort (DP++), and RGB/YUV, as well as analog video inputs via HD-15 VGA and component. This broad compatibility ensures that the encoder can work with a wide range of video sources, from high-end digital devices to legacy analog equipment. The encoder's ability to convert analog signals to digital, with 8-bit 300 MHz conversion per channel, makes it a versatile solution in mixed-source environments.

One of the key features of the NMX-ENC-N2412A is its low latency. With a typical latency of just 8 ms at 60 fps, it is well-suited for real-time applications such as live broadcasting, command centers, and interactive displays. The sub-frame latency ensures that the video stream is synchronized perfectly with no visible delay, even in high-performance environments. Moreover, the encoder supports PoE+ (Power over Ethernet), simplifying the installation process by eliminating the need for additional power cables and allowing the device to be powered directly from the network switch.

For maximum scalability and ease of integration, the NMX-ENC-N2412A can be used with other AMX SVSI devices, including decoders and network switches, to create a fully integrated AV over IP network. Its support for gigabit Ethernet and PoE+ means that it can be deployed in existing infrastructure without requiring expensive upgrades. The encoder also offers enterprise-level security features, including support for Active Directory, 802.1X authentication, and SSL/TLS encryption, which ensures the integrity and security of video transmissions across the network.

Furthermore, the NMX-ENC-N2412A integrates seamlessly with AMX control systems, utilizing NetLinx protocols for simplified control and monitoring. Whether using the web interface, AMX control panels, or third-party automation systems, this encoder offers full control of all its features. It also supports advanced management capabilities such as monitoring the networked video streams, input and output configurations, and real-time diagnostics, all accessible through AMX's software and user-friendly web interfaces.
