DisplayNet®
DN-300 Overview

Unmatched Performance and Value – The DisplayNet® DN-300 Series represents a major breakthrough in performance, versatility, and value for AVoIP applications. Based on the latest SDVoE technology, the DN-300 Series delivers flawless HDMI video distribution with limitless scalability, zero-frame latency and zero image artifacts. These units support near-seamless switching and distribution of HDMI signals with resolutions of up to 4K/60p (4:4:4) with 8-bit color, or 4K/60p (4:2:2) with 10-bit or 12-bit color. Like other DisplayNet products, the DN-300 Series provides independent multi-layer routing of HDMI audio and video signals, as well as bidirectional Analog Audio, USB, IR, RS-232, and 1GbE Ethernet.

Feature Rich – The DN-300 Series provides a host of unique features, such as switchable transceiver operation, PoE+ support, and dual (copper / fiber) network interfaces that enable signal extension distances of up to 100 meters (328 ft.) with CAT-6A twisted pair, and up to 30 KM (18.6 miles) with single-mode fiber. The DN-300 includes auxiliary H.264/5 video output streams that provide support for viewing source thumbnails and for remote viewing / recording with resolutions of up to 1080 /30p. Furthermore, these units provide silent, fanless operation, powerful network security features, and versatile KVM Routing with full-bandwidth USB 2.0 on the DN-300 and rapid USB HID device switching on the DN-300H.

DN-300 units are housed in ultra-compact, low-profile cases that allow up to 4x units to occupy a single 1U of rack space. This makes them ideal for high density applications where rack space can be limited. Like all DisplayNet units, they include advanced, software-defined MultiViewer and Video Wall engines that enable a wide range of applications without the expense and complexity of ancillary products.

Limitless Expandability – Unlike traditional matrix switchers, DisplayNet systems have no limits or restrictions on the size or design of an AV distribution system; the matrix array can be as large as the number of non-blocking ports on the network. Stacked switches enable very large systems with several hundred ports at a low marginal cost.

Exceptional Versatility – The DN-300 Series utilizes DisplayNet Server®, which provides a highly intuitive web-based UI and a powerful API that makes setup and maintenance of these units incredibly fast and easy. Highly advanced features enable effortless integration with third-party controllers as well as full interoperability with other SDVoE products. Thanks to its ultra-compact, low-profile design, exceptional capabilities and outstanding array of features, the
DN-300 Series enables system designers to develop and implement highly versatile AV signal distribution systems with robust performance and scalability at a very competitive price.

Note 1: The 10GbE port is designed to connect to compatible DVIGear products and 10GbE network switches only. Do not connect any device to the 10GbE port of this product unless you are sure it is compatible.

Note 2: Video signals will be transported uncompressed unless the bandwidth exceeds the limits of 10GbE. For video signals that exceed 10Gbps. of bandwidth, light compression is employed. For the maximum resolutions shown above, the DN-300 Series employs a compression ratio of about 1.4:1.

Note 3: DN-300 Series uses lightweight compression for some high bit rate formats (e.g. 4K /60p), which adds a few extra lines of latency. For Fast Switch, Video Wall, and MultiViewer modes, a maximum of 2 frames of latency translates to not more than 33.3 msec. @ 60Hz and not more than 67.7 msec @ 30Hz.

Note 4: A system may operate concurrently in Matrix Switching, Video Wall, and MultiViewer modes.
