3xLOGIC’s VH-DECODER-4K “sets new standard” in video decoding

“The VH-DECODER-4K converts digital data received from IP networks into video signals for display on a monitor,” explained Mike Poe, director of product management at 3xLOGIC. “It decompresses the video data using the same standards as the encoder and restores the original quality and resolution of the video. This capability is indispensable for end users who need to monitor and review live camera footage and becomes particularly important when compatibility with legacy equipment is a key requirement.”

Ease of installation and use is built into every element of the compact VH-DECODER-4K’s design and build. It’s simply a matter of connecting the VH-DECODER-4K to a camera network and running a short video cable to a monitor.

By using 3xLOGIC’s Decoder Set-Up Utility’s intuitive set-up guide and camera finder, it can display video within minutes and work independently of – or otherwise in conjunction with – a VIGIL Server, showing up to 16 cameras on a single monitor through various simultaneous connections including BNC, VGA or HDMI.

4K and 1080P IP video decoding

The VH-DECODER-4K handles both 4K and 1080p IP video decoding, supporting up to 8 MP resolution. Advanced configuration through an Internet-based interface allows for two-way audio, alarm I/O and serial communication.

Further, using the VIGIL Server 9.0 and beyond, analogue cameras may be integrated with the VH-DECODER-4K alongside ONVIF-compliant IP cameras. With up to 16 cameras on a single monitor, large areas can be covered, while high-resolution monitoring creates greater employee safety and security and facilitates enhanced operational insight.

“At 3xLOGIC,” concluded Poe, “we believe that all organisations should have access to state-of-the-art security technology that helps them protect people, property and assets. With streamlined installation and operation, the VH-DECODER-4K is a game-changer when it comes to video decoding. Whether you need 4K clarity or simultaneous 1080p channels, it offers a quick and simple way in which to configure a public view monitor or spot monitor, providing the flexibility required to cater for varied end user business needs.”
