AV Decoders

What to consider when specifying AV Decoders

An AV decoder receives an encoded or transported audio-video stream and reconstructs an output signal for a display, processor or other AV endpoint. Selection should be based on stream compatibility, output interfaces, supported formats, audio requirements, synchronization, latency and the wider system design.

Key selection considerations

• Compatibility with the encoder and transport protocol
• Display output interface and signal format
• Audio de-embedding, embedding or pass-through needs
• Multi-display, synchronization and control requirements
