PURE3 Codec
Extron's patented PURE3® codec is not another repurposed codec designed for digital cinema, security video, broadcast, or Internet streaming. PURE3 is a groundbreakingly powerful, purpose-built codec designed specifically for Pro AV. For over 20 years, Extron has been engineering video transmission and signal processing solutions that deliver uncompromised image quality and performance. By leveraging our expertise in video transmission and our knowledge of the Pro AV market and applications, we created PURE3 from the ground up to address the unique needs of the professional AV industry.
Ultra-low Latency
Streams professional-grade video with ultra-low latency using Extron's unique wavelet-based PURE3® codec, guaranteeing exceptional user experience and response time in mission critical applications.
Visually Lossless
PURE3 is a unique wavelet-based compression technology that exceeds the performance characteristics found in standards-based compression systems. Video signals are encoded with 4:4:4 color quantization, while maintaining original source quality and native resolution. In addition, PURE3's exclusive ISS - Intelligent Selective Streaming technology facilitates real-time delivery of visually lossless video even at lower bitrates. ISS along with PURE3's high immunity to network errors and built-in error concealment offer unrivaled, groundbreaking delivery of visually lossless video.
4:4:4 Chroma Sampling
HDMI up to 4K @ 60Hz (4096 x 2160) with full 4:4:4 chroma subsampling ensures accurate reproduction of source images with no loss of detail. Many competing AV over IP solutions use 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 chroma subsampling, which trades color detail for lower bitrates. Such chroma subsampling may be acceptable with full-motion video content, but often impacts the clarity of PC-generated content. NAV systems are a no-compromise solution that leverages the PURE3® codec to deliver both low bitrates and superior image quality.
4:2:2 chroma subsampling
4:4:4 chroma sampling
Error Concealment
Offers high immunity to network errors, ensuring reliable transmission of high quality imagery with the ability to conceal errors even during incidents of heavy packet loss. Picture data from previous frames are held at the decoder for use during times of packet loss. When packet errors occur, this data is presented, concealing missing information. As such, PURE3 Error Correction does not increase latency or add overhead like FEC - Forward Error Correction used by other competitors.
PURE3® error concealment on a single frame
PURE3® Error Concealment in action: Network error is concealed in existing video frame. It is localized to a small area and updated with new, accurate imagery in a successive frame.

Powerful Management Tools
Extron NAVigator is an appliance for the secure configuration, management, and control of NAV Pro AV over IP systems. Use the intuitive browser-based NAVigator System Manager to configure, monitor and control, upgrade, backup and restore, run diagnostics, and troubleshoot. An entry level NAVigator system supports 16 endpoints and can expand with LinkLicense to support 48, 96, or 240 devices. Multiple NAVigators working together can support thousands of endpoints.
The NAVigator has two independent Ethernet ports to connect to both AV devices and a management LAN. This facilitates management and control from a one network, while isolating AV devices on a separate AV over IP network. With Extron Pro Series control integration, the NAVigator acts as a centralized communication bridge for secure control of all attached devices. An optional NAVigator LinkLicense is available to enable third-party control of NAV systems. These third-party control systems can use SIS commands* to make and break NAV connections as well as some other functions. However, Extron Pro Series control system integration with the NAVigator is required to control the Secure Platform Devices on NAV endpoints such as RS-232 and IR control ports. The NAVigator System Manager can be PoE powered over the network.
*The 3rd party control LinkLicense does not enable control of SPD devices.
Intuitive System Interface
Intuitive graphical web interface for configuration, monitoring, backup/restoration, and troubleshooting.
Highly Scalable
Purpose-built for secure management, configuration and control of NAV solutions, each NAVigator Pro AV over IP System Manager supports 16 endpoints, and can expand with LinkLicense to handle 48, 96, or 240 endpoints. Multiple NAVigator devices can work together to support thousands of endpoints.
Enterprise Platform Performance
Enables simultaneous configuration of a large number of devices in a single operation, saving time and simplifying setup.
Encrypted Communications
To protect sensitive information during transmission, NAVigator's web interface supports HTTPS - Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure. In addition, all communications between the NAVigator and endpoints is AES encrypted over SSH - Secure Shell protocol. To further enhance security, use of an Extron Pro Series control system safeguards every command sent over the network with full encryption from control processor to endpoint. With the NAVigator third-party control LinkLicense security is extended to the 3rd party control system utilizing the SSH protocol.
Secure Network Isolation
Two isolated, independent LAN ports facilitate control from a secondary network, enabling flexible system design with enhanced security, and eliminating AV traffic on the corporate network.
Network
Pro Series Control
NAV endpoints have a built in Secure Platform Devices - SPD port for CEC, RS-232, and IR, effectively expanding Extron Pro Series control systems beyond the physical location of the control processor. This unique Extron feature eliminates the need for additional control processors by the endpoints. These NAV Secure Platform Devices ensure encrypted control of connected devices at any location. Extron Pro Series control system integration with the NAVigator is required to control the Secure Platform Devices on NAV endpoints and the third-party control LinkLicense does not enable control of SPD devices. NAV solutions are an ideal solution for any application requiring device control, flexible video and audio switching, and reliable transmission of high-quality content.
