1080P60 H.265 AV over IP Decoder
AVO-IP265HD-DEC 1080p60 H.265 AV over IP decoder: PoE, multicast, distributed matrix and video wall to 9×9 with RS-232 control over a standard 1G network.
Adds another display to an existing 1080p AV-over-IP system without touching the encoder side or the switch you already run. The decoder is a compact black metal endpoint that draws power over PoE (802.3af Class 3) from the network switch, so screens mounted where power is hard to reach need only a single Cat cable, and up to eight units rack into a single 1U. It is the right choice for signage and venue installs where display count, per-endpoint cost, and reach matter more than 4K resolution or KVM. Working over a standard managed 1G network, it receives H.265 or H.264 streams and drives an HDMI display in point-to-point, signal-distribution, multicast, distributed-matrix, or video-wall modes, scaling a canvas up to 9×9 without a fixed matrix chassis. Output scaling, EDID, and stream routing are configured from the built-in Web GUI or a Controller Box, and the unit is controllable over RS-232, TCP/IP, Web GUI, or Controller Box, with RS-232 pass-through and Guest mode reaching connected displays. Because every screen is simply another decoder added to an open switch port, expanding a system is an add-on rather than a chassis upgrade — the companion AVO-IP265HD-ENC encoder is sold separately.

Questions
- What is the maximum video resolution the AVO-IP265HD-DEC outputs?
- Up to 1920x1200@60Hz 4:4:4, as specified in HDMI 1.3.
- How far can the signal run over network cable?
- Up to 328 ft / 100 m over CAT5E, CAT6, CAT6A or CAT7 cable.
- How do I route a specific encoder to the AVO-IP265HD-DEC over RS-232?
- After setting IDs in the Web GUI, connect the RS-232 port to a PC or control system and send !OUT xxx FR yyy\r\n, where xxx is the AVO-IP265HD-DEC decoder ID and yyy is the encoder ID; matrix switching can be done with RS-232 alone, no Controller Box required.
- Does the AVO-IP265HD-DEC support unicast and multicast?
- Yes. In the decoder Video Configuration page you select the Transmission Protocol as udp unicast or udp multicast (udp multicast by default), which enables distribution, multicast, distributed matrix and video wall up to 9x9 over a 1G switch.
- What do I connect to the AVO-IP265HD-DEC rear ports?
- The HDMI OUT goes to a display such as a TV or monitor, the AUDIO OUT 3-pin phoenix connector goes to an amplifier or loudspeaker, and the LAN RJ45 goes to your network switch, router or hub.
- What IP address do I use to reach the decoder's Web GUI the first time?
- The decoder's default IP is 169.254.100.253; put your PC on the same segment, for example 169.254.3.150 with subnet mask 255.255.0.0, then enter the decoder IP in a browser and log in with admin / admin.
- The link seems intermittent on the AVO-IP265HD-DEC. What do I check at the network port?
- Look at the RJ45 lamps: the green Link Signal lamp is illuminated when the cable is connected normally and dark when it is not connected well, so reseat or replace the CAT cable; the yellow Data Signal lamp flashes when data is being transmitted and is dark when there is none.
- There is no sound from the AVO-IP265HD-DEC AUDIO OUT. What should I check?
- The decoder's analog AUDIO OUT follows the audio output of the encoder, so confirm the encoder's audio source and Audio Selection are set correctly and that an amplifier or loudspeaker is connected to the 3-pin phoenix connector.
- Can I add decoders later to an existing system?
- Yes — drop in a decoder, pair it to an encoder via RS-232 (!OUT xxx FR yyy) or the controller, and it joins the distribution.
- Does the decoder need a managed switch?
- Yes — the same Layer-3 managed Gigabit switch with IGMP Snooping used by the encoders.
