Crestron’s recent release of DM‑NVX Multiview brings some exciting new possibilities to the world of AV-over-IP. If you’re in healthcare, education, or any sector dealing with complex AV systems, this technology will definitely make your life easier. Here’s a quick rundown:
What’s New?
- DM‑NVX now supports up to six video sources displayed simultaneously on a single screen, with zero latency.
- It’s all done over a standard 1Gb network, making it easy to integrate with existing infrastructure without the need for pricey network upgrades.
- With customisable layouts, users can quickly switch between multiple video feeds, providing a highly dynamic viewing experience.
But why does this matter? Let’s dive into real-world applications, especially in healthcare and education, where Zapperr AV has been using this technology to enhance spaces and improve efficiency.
Zapperr AV Deployments: Bringing Multiview to Life
Major Melbourne Hospital – Multi-Screen Command Centre
We recently worked with a leading healthcare facility in Melbourne to integrate DM‑NVX Multiview into their command centre. The ability to display multiple sources on a single screen—think live operating room feeds, nurse station dashboards, and video conferencing—has made it so much easier for medical teams to monitor critical areas. With everything in one place, response times are quicker, and it’s much easier to ensure patient safety.
University Lecture Theatres – Dynamic Learning Spaces
We’ve also deployed this technology in university lecture theatres. Professors can now show slides, video feeds from remote students, and lab visuals on one screen, enhancing the overall learning experience. Imagine a lecture where students can see not just the instructor but also a live demonstration from another room, all without the distraction of switching between screens.
How Does This Tech Fit Into Hospitals and Universities?
Let’s take a look at how DM‑NVX Multiview can be used to address everyday challenges in healthcare and education:
- In Hospitals: Think about a nurse’s station with four live feeds—patient monitors, cameras, and a scheduling dashboard, displayed at once. The best part? Staff can quickly switch between feeds based on patient needs, improving efficiency and focus.
- In Universities: During a hybrid class, professors can display multiple elements: the classroom video, a presentation, remote students’ webcams, and real-time lab visuals, without the awkward transitions between screens. Everything is in one place, easy to manage, and always on time.
Why DM‑NVX Multiview is the Perfect Fit
Here’s why we think this technology is a game-changer:
Challenge | DM‑NVX Multiview Solution |
Multiple sources | Display up to six sources on a single screen |
Slow layout changes | Switch between 18 customisable layouts instantly |
Infrastructure upgrades | Works over a 1GB network—no need to upgrade switches |
Complex management | Simplifies AV control with a single decoder |
Latency issues | No added latency—crystal-clear, real-time feeds |
Secure deployment | Fully enterprise-grade security standards |
Some Real-World Use Cases
- Healthcare Command Centres: Imagine a multi-screen setup at a nurse station, displaying patient info, critical data, and live feeds from various departments. The ability to see everything in real time on one screen streamlines workflow and keeps teams on top of everything.
- Education Spaces: Professors teaching hybrid classes can use DM‑NVX to display a presentation, student webcams, and lab footage all on a single screen. This is not only more engaging for students but also much easier for the professor to manage.
The Future of AV Monitoring with Crestron’s Technology
Incorporating DM‑NVX Multiview into healthcare and education settings is just the beginning. As more institutions shift towards hybrid and more connected environments, technologies like this will continue to simplify workflows, reduce operational headaches, and enhance collaboration.
It’s exciting to think about how this technology will evolve and integrate into other sectors, improving efficiency and delivering even greater results. At Zapperr AV, we’re already seeing how valuable this can be for our clients and are looking forward to future projects that leverage this powerful technology.
