The VN-DECODER-2V7 is an ideal companion to the ViconNet Virtual Matrix Display Controller (VMDC). Used in conjunction with the VMDC, network data is received and converted from a digital IP source to an output for display on any monitor with a DVI or HDMI input (a DVI output can be VGA using an adapter). This enables distribution directly to a monitor and offers an alternative display method to the PC-based client.

The device provides a cost-effective means to support remote or add-on viewing stations that require only live video display. Each VN-DECODER-2V7 supports up to two monitors, each with the ability to display up to 64 video streams on each monitor.

The VN-DECODER-2V7 fully supports system running ViconNet video management software (VMS). The decoder also supports monitor wall designs that are typical of large-scale video surveillance installations, such as casinos, correctional facilities, airports and hospitals.

Easy to install and configure
The VMDC allows for remote management and control of the VN-DECODER- 2V7 and connected monitors. This supports a flexible network topology, enabling decoder and monitors to be located at the same site, yet allows the location of the cameras, switches and control center to distributed sites. When used at an edge location, the video can be controlled and driven by a programmable logic controller (PLC) and IP keypad. The operator can also use the VMDC to route any camera on the network to any monitor connected to the VN-DECODER-2V7 on the network.
