4K Single-Channel Video DecoderDS-6901UDI — 4K Single-Channel Decoder for Video Walls
The Hikvision DS-6901UDI is a 4K single-channel video decoder built to pull network camera streams and render them on a monitor or video wall. It decodes up to 4K (3840×2160 @30Hz) over HDMI and outputs simultaneously via HDMI, VGA, and BNC.
It decodes streams direct from encoders and cameras via URL and RTSP, supports active and passive decoding modes, and drives video-wall displays either by direct camera link or through stream-media forwarding — with window opening, roaming, and split-screen control.
