A video decoder (Codec) is an electronic circuit (hardware) or piece of software that decompresses digital video in either a H.264 or H.265 format. It converts compressed video to an un-compressed format, which is then displayed onto a monitor for viewing purposes, or recorded locally on the edge USB / SD card format.

Our decoders can decode up to 100 IP streams, and can display these  in multiple viewing layouts. We have a variety of different ways to control the decoders – by API , remote control ,RS232 or 485 – joystick , IR Control or web interface.

A common use of this application is where a security guard would like a view-only station of CCTV camera images to monitor. By using a decoder with a monitor, it eliminates the need for a PC and due to the dedicated nature of the product, it is very powerful and effective.

Depending on the requirements, decoders can also give full PTZ control by connecting a joystick to the decoder and controlling a camera remotely over a network.

When choosing a decoder, it is important to know the following points as this will help narrow down the choice/type of decoder you require:

  • What output connection to the decoder do you require? (HDMI, HD-SDI , Composite/CVBS, DVI, VGA?).
  • What video resolution do you require? (4K, UHD, HD, SD etc).
  • How many cameras do you wish to view at any one time on screen?
  • Do you require H.264 or H.265 decoding? Note: Antrica has one H.265 decoder available.
  • Do you require full ONVIF discovery or just RTSP decoding?
  • Do you require ultra-low latency? In this case, specialised encoder/decoder pairs are required.
