CHAPTER 2: OVERVIEW
2.1 INTRODUCTION
VS-2001-DEC works with a live streaming media encoder (VS-2001-ENC) that interfaces with HDMI signals for delivering media
over IP networks. With this decoder and matching encoder, the user can build a system to deliver an A/V signal over a LAN or WAN.
Advanced media codec technology
The decoder uses H.264 video compressing technology to decode video content with visual lossless quality at the link that
provides limited bandwidth. The decoder also supports AAC audio encoding technology so the audio signal can be delivered with
low bandwidth but high quality.
Compatible with diversified networks
The decoder can receive media data by multiple approaches to work in many different network environments. Multicast mode
saves bandwidth and unicast mode is suitable for common unmanaged switches. Even in a network protected by a firewall, the
decoder can activate RTP over RTSP mode to receive media data without the need for a new UDP port.
Optimized controlling methods
To achieve pairing, the user needs to configure the IP address of the encoder. The decoder will negotiate with the encoder and try
to obtain the media stream by the most suitable approach. You can control the decoder in two ways: via web UI and Telnet API.
The web UI enables the user to control it through a common web browser. The Telnet API enables the devices to be controlled by a
third-party system.

Connects to a 12-V, 1-A power supply.
NOTE: We recommend that you power encoders/decoders using
either power adapters or a PoE switch instead of using power
supplies and PoE at the same time. For example, if you want
to use power adapters, ensure that the PoE function of the
connected LAN ports in the switch is disabled or a non-PoE
switch is used.
Video Input: (1) LAN (PoE): Connects to an Ethernet switch
for streaming media output
NOTE: If you use a PoE Ethernet switch, the decoder can be powered
by this switch, eliminating the need for a nearby power outlet.
Audio Output: (1) AUDIO OUT: Connects to an audio output device
such as an amplifier or a speaker.
Video Output: (1) HDMI OUT: connects to an HDMI video ouptut such
as an HDMI display
RS-232 passthrough control: (1) RS-232: connects to a third-party
device such as a projector, which can be controlled by IP configurator
and IP controller on your computer.
RESET: Reset the device to its factory defaults.
When the device is powered on, use a pointed stylus to hold down
the RESET button for five or more seconds, and then release it, it will
reboot and restore to its factory defaults.
NOTE: When the settings are restored, your custom data is lost.
Therefore, exercise caution when using the RESET button.
Connects to the ground for preventing electric shock and device
damage.
