These AV over IP encoder/decoder units enable users to transmit lightly compressed audio and video signals with minimal latency and lossless quality. The ALF-IPK1HE encoder and ALF-IPK1HD 4K decoder support input resolutions up to 4K@30Hz and are plug-and-play ready, allowing them with unmanaged network switches and eliminating the need for configuration. H.264/265 video codecs are supported via the HDMI 1.4 transmission standard with HDCP 2.2 4K copy protection. Both units support the MPEG4-AAC and LPCM stereo audio formats.
The ALF-IPK1HE encoder can be configured in an IP video matrix or video wall setup using the VDirector mobile control app for iOS. The encoder has a builtin scaler for fast switching, and RS-232 throughput is supported to the ALF-IPK1HD 4K decoder. Users can drag-and-drop sources to the desired displays for visual control. Additionally, this encoder features local audio de-embedding with line output. For operational convenience, the RS232 route follows the switching of the video source. Alfatron positions the ALF-IPK1HE encoder and ALF-IPK1HD 4K decoder as ideal for videowalls or TV distribution in sports bars and similar environments with the help of the Alfatron App.
