MXnet 1G Evolution II Decoder

The AC-MXNET-1G-DV2 represents the next step in the evolution of the MXnet AV over IP video distribution ecosystem from AVPro Edge. AC-MXNET-1G-DV2, an Evolution II Decoding/Receiving device, incorporates a newly designed AVPro Edge application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) that introduces an improved software-based video encoding/decoding engine into the IC for enhanced video processing.'

All MXnet first-generation decoder features are retained for use with the AC-MXNET-1G-DV2. PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: AC-MXNET-1G-EV2 and AC-MXNET-1G-DV2 devices may coexist alongside MXnet first-generation encoders and decoders within previously installed systems or pending system deployments; however, they are required to be used exclusively in EVO II transmitter-to-EVO II decoder(s) pairings only. As a member of the AVPro Edge family of AV over IP products, an AC-MXNET-1G-DV2 is the destination endpoint within the MXnet Ecosystem where the signal arrives. At the input side, connected by either category wiring (Cat 6a is recommended) or fiber optic cabling to an MXnet switch or any compatible multicast-capable managed L3 network switch, an AC-MXNET-1G-DV2 receives multicast packeted data from an AC-MXNET-1G-EV2 encoder. This data encoded using an optimized JPEG 2000 codec, is precisely decoded per its encode rate (200Mbps for 1080p content, 300Mbps for 4K/30fps content, peaking at 850Mbps for 4K/60fps content). Control signals are unpacked and routed per their intended application. The new IC developed for Evolution II devices enables the AC-MXNET-1G-DV2 to excel at smoothly decoding 4K/60fps 4:4:4 signals, RGB or YCBCR 10- or 12-bit, with crisp, artifact-free detail and the added punch of dynamic metadata. Decoded audio/video information available at the HDMI output is passed through to a local device. AC-MXNET-1G-DV2 decoders may support an unlimited number of video walls, each capable of up to sixty-four panels in standard layouts plus artistic, mosaic-styled arrays. Frame-syncing Genlock is supported, with latency near zero and visually imperceptible. The AC-MXNET-1G-DV2 runs quietly and remains cool during operation, utilizing a fan-less design featuring chip-top heatsinking to efficiently disperse heat while limiting power consumption at typically 7 watts or less for stability and device longevity.
