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.
