DVDO H265-4KENC-1 H.265/H.264 4K60 AV over IP Encoder

DVDO H265-4KENC-1 H.265/H.264 4K60 AV over IP Encoder

The DVDO H265-4KENC-1 H.265/H.264 4K60 AV over IP Encoder distributes HDMI video and LPCM audio across standard 1G network infrastructure. It accepts formats through UHD 3840 x 2160 at 60Hz and DCI 4096 x 2160 at 30Hz while providing a local HDMI loop output for professional AV installations.

Designed for digital signage, education, corporate AV, hospitality, command centers, entertainment, and houses of worship, the encoder works with compatible DVDO H265-4K decoders in one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many systems. A deployment can scale to 256 encoders and 256 decoders, while Cat6 cabling supports runs up to 393.7 ft.

PoE simplifies installation by allowing network-delivered power, with a 5V DC input available when PoE is not used. Bidirectional IR, RS-232, and I/O pass-through support device control, while a free iOS or Android app provides system management and real-time video preview. Front-panel controls and 24/7 operating capability suit permanent professional AV deployments.
