Dante AV encoder is used to work together with traditional HDMI signals such as HDMI PTZ cameras, to
coding the HDMI signal to Dante AV video stream, then use Dante AV decoder to decoding the Dante AV
video stream, included audio and video that output from the encoder, and output it to the back-end display
device via HDMI cable.
