AMX NMX-DEC-N1222A-C - Minimal Proprietary Compression Video Over IP Decoder Card with AES67 Support

The AMX NMX-DEC-N1222A-C is a high-performance Minimal Proprietary Compression (MPC) video over IP decoder card designed for use with the NMX-ACC-N9206 2RU rack mount cage. This decoder card delivers visually lossless video distribution, ensuring that video content retains its quality even during packetization and transmission across IP networks. With a focus on reducing latency to an industry-leading 10 ms at 60 fps, the NMX-DEC-N1222A-C is perfect for applications where instantaneous video playback is essential, such as live events, broadcast environments, and other professional AV applications.

Equipped with two RJ45 network ports, one supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE), this decoder card simplifies installation by eliminating the need for a separate power supply. Its ability to handle both PoE and standard network connections provides added flexibility for integration into various system configurations. The card supports a wide range of input resolutions, including HD video up to 1920x1200, and provides output video through HDMI and DVI-D ports, both with HDCP content protection support. The NMX-DEC-N1222A-C is designed to work seamlessly with N1000 series encoders, allowing for flexible AV-over-IP solutions with minimal compression and near-zero latency.

In addition to its video capabilities, the NMX-DEC-N1222A-C offers excellent audio support, including embedded audio on HDMI, DVI-D, and Ethernet standard SVSI audio streams or AES67. This decoder ensures that audio is synchronized with video, maintaining high-quality audio output at 8-channel PCM or stereo 2-channel formats. The unit's low audio latency of 17 ms ensures that audio remains perfectly in sync with the video feed, further enhancing the user experience.

The NMX-DEC-N1222A-C provides unmatched flexibility and scalability in AV-over-IP applications, supporting both layer-2 and layer-3 network configurations. It is ideal for use in small to mid-size matrix switching environments, where multiple video and audio sources need to be distributed across different displays and audio systems. The unit also includes a built-in control interface via RS232 for seamless integration with other control systems, making it easy to manage the encoder and decoder operations remotely.

For maximum flexibility, the NMX-DEC-N1222A-C can be mounted in a standalone configuration or used in a rack mount setup. It is compatible with various mounting accessories, including the NMX-ACC-N9101 mounting wings, NMX-ACC-N9102 rack shelf, and NMX-ACC-N9206 2RU rack mount cage, allowing for easy integration into different setups. Whether used in a professional AV environment or a high-performance broadcast system, the NMX-DEC-N1222A-C provides a reliable and high-quality solution for video and audio distribution over IP networks.

In summary, the NMX-DEC-N1222A-C is a robust and efficient video-over-IP decoder that offers low-latency, high-quality video and audio decoding, while maintaining minimal compression and exceptional video fidelity. It's ideal for applications requiring high-quality video distribution with real-time synchronization and control.
