Key Features
Features
- Unicast and Multicast for Video Display RoutingPaired with Dante AV decoder, it receives the signal from a DanteAV PTZ camera or an encoder and feeds it to a display device via the HDMI and/or 12G-SDI output. Using familiar Dante Controller software, the decoder can quickly and easily switch between multiple DanteAV endpoints including cameras or encoders on the network, with no need for breakouts or matrix switches to unicast or multicast display the video on any number of screens and video router system to use.
- Implementation of HDCP 2.2 EncryptionAdheres to the latest HDCP 2.2 (HDCP 2.3 for network) specification for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection. Allows protected content streams to pass between authenticated devices.
- Dante Controller SupportedFull setup and control and monitoring of the device is enabled through Dante Controller that delivers standard Dante features such as automatic device discovery and system configuration, making network setup a simple plug and play experience.
- Always Up To DateFirmware updates, upgrade via Bolin Dante AV software IP interface to keep the decoder features and performance up to date.
- Audio Formats, Dante Audio over IPThe D20 Series Dante AV Transceiver supports Dante compatible networked audio streams from encoders and audio interfaces. The received Dante audio streaming can be combined with the video and then output via the HDMI output.
- Two Ethernet Ports and POEThe D20 Series Dante AV Transceiver includes two RJ-45 1000BASE-T ports can be used to transport video over a Gigabit Ethernet network. Ports 1 for Dante network primary connection and Port 2 can be used to daisy-chain other endpoints. Port 1 is also capable of receiving power via POE++.
- D20 Series Transceiver has two models: ■ D20H has HDMI 2.0 output only, which provides decoded image to output via HDMI 2.0. Integrated high-performance scaling engine provides scalable encoded source for a wide array of UHD, HD resolutions to match the different capabilities and requirements of sources, displays, codecs, and other equipment.
■ D20S has HDMI 2.0 and 12G-SDI output, which has SDI video processor built-in to provide SDI (Up to 12G-SDI) signal for ProAV and broadcast video work flow applications. - USB HID and USB OTGUSB control over IP that can be switched and routed alongside the AV signal or separately via a control system allows you to use a USB mouse and/or keyboard to control a remote computer via the Dante network.
