EDGE Series Dante AV-H™ Network Video Decoder

Dante AV-H is a software solution for SoC-based video products that brings the power and interoperability of Dante to H.26x video endpoints.
Dante AV-H is less complicated and more flexible to install than point-to-point solutions and with low bandwidth, it’s the ideal AV solution for today’s networks.” (Audinate.com)
Bolin EG40DH is a powerful FPGA-engineered IP decoder capable of receiving a single Dante AV-H video flow over a standard 1GB network and outputting up to 4K60 with embedded Dante audio through HDMI 2.0 and 12G-SDI. It is compatible with all
Dante AV-H cameras and Dante audio devices. In addition, the EG40DH can decode RTSP IP streams via HEVC, and FAST HEVC, making it compatible with Bolin’s FAST HEVC cameras and decoders.
Dante AV-H uses the industry standard H.264/H.265 codecs, offering excellent image quality and low bandwidth across the network. Dante AV-H video and audio routing and configuration are managed with the familiar, reliable, easy-to-use Dante Controller software. The EG40DH can also take advantage of Dante Domain Manager’s robust management and user access control.
Dante AV-H flows can co-exist with Dante AV Ultra flows on the same network, providing excellent video quality with lower bandwidth.
The EG40DH is a powerful, reliable option for decoding video flows from Dante AV-H PTZ cameras or PCs running Dante Studio software for output to monitors or Vision Mixers to swap between multiple sources.
