Crestron Advances Content Distribution with Additions to the AirMedia and DM NVX Product Lines, Announces New XiO Cloud Licensing Model
Barcelona, Spain – ISE® 2025, Stand 3H300/3H400 – February 4, 2025 – Crestron Electronics, a global leader in content distribution across industries, today announces an impressive suite of enhancements to its content distribution portfolio, including the new AirMedia® Connect Endpoint, more DM NVX® 384 encoder/decoder features, and new subscription tiers for the XiO Cloud® platform. Crestron is committed to providing scalable solutions that allow seamless content sharing and device management in a variety of enterprise, education, and government spaces.
AirMedia Connect Endpoint
The new AirMedia Connect Endpoint extends the reach of the AirMedia® Connect Adaptor, bringing USB-C® connectivity and a wired connectivity option to the table to complement wireless capabilities. The solution offers a versatile form factor and enhanced connectivity options to simplify content sharing, conferencing, and digital signage in meeting and learning spaces. This plug-and-play solution, which will be on display for the first time at ISE® 2025, provides the ability to present or host a meeting from personal devices using the wired or wireless connectivity method that works best for each space. Designed for modern BYOD (Bring-Your-Own-Device) environments, the AirMedia Connect Endpoint enables users to make the most of their meeting rooms to easily connect with in-room peripherals and allow for seamless participation from colleagues, classmates, or even outside guests. This solution offers USB-C and HDMI® + USB-A connection options, eliminating the need for additional software or drivers while ensuring integration in any existing infrastructure and works with the AirMedia Connect Adaptor and other avenues to present and conference with AirMedia technology.
DM NVX 384 Encoder/Decoder
In every scenario, DM NVX technology serves as the backbone for delivering flawless media and content through a single, dependable, secure, and scalable platform. The DM NVX 384 encoder/decoder represents the next generation of AV-over-IP technology, with USB-C connectivity, multi-input switching, support for multiple resolutions, and a new powerful feature that will be enabled via a free firmware update: multiview.
Multiview allows up to six content sources to be displayed simultaneously on a single screen in different layouts, expanding capabilities for large-format displays in applications like command-and-control centers, bars/restaurants, or education spaces. Multiview will be on display for the first time at ISE 2025.
“Information drives organizations today – The ability to share content effortlessly and securely is essential to the growth and success of teams in any industry. Our expanded content distribution offerings ensure organizations can meet the needs of any scenario, from simple BYOD spaces to complex AV-over-IP environments with unparalleled performance and reliability,” said Brad Hintze, executive vice president of global marketing at Crestron. “These solutions are empowering teams to communicate and collaborate more effectively, regardless of the scale or complexity of their AV requirements.”
Free XiO Cloud Subscription and Paid XiO Cloud Premium Subscription
The XiO Cloud service is available in a free XiO Cloud subscription and a paid XiO Cloud Premium subscription to cater to diverse organizational needs. Customers have found value in the XiO Cloud platform, and this new free XiO Cloud subscription brings a limited feature set of these capabilities to a larger group with remote device deployment and management with SMS/email alerts for proactive monitoring of Crestron devices. The paid XiO Cloud premium subscription delivers more advanced support and a more predictable annual licensing model for large deployments. The XiO Cloud premium subscription adds third-party device monitoring, room-level functions, and REST API access for advanced customization and integration. The XiO Cloud Premium subscription uses a device-based licensing model allowing you to purchase a specified device count based on the anticipated number of devices in your XiO Cloud account. If an account exceeds the budgeted device count over the course of the year, a new True-Up process is provided that allows you to purchase and adjust the device count either proactively or retroactively to reflect your increased device usage. This model allows enterprises to be flexible with their XiO Cloud deployment based on changing business or space usage needs while avoiding any down time for new devices.
