1. Introduction
The EverFocus EMX32 IP Decoder is an open, true 1080p HD Decoder. The device can
simultaneously decode up to four high definition (1080p) or standard definition (720p) video
streams, and display those streams in up to four division screens on a monitor. The EMX32 IP
Decoder can display its views on HD monitors or televisions.
The EMX32 IP Decoder is able to decode IP streams from EverFocus and ONVIF and
RTSP-compliant IP devices. It is used as a medium to connect the cameras and the monitor for
displaying video in different screen division. It supports the third-party IP cameras which are
compatible with ONVIF standards and RTSP protocol, and it can automatically search for ONVIF
supported third-party IP devices under the same LAN.
The cost-effective EMX32 IP Decoder eliminates the cost of the traditional DVR or PC. Just used
with a monitor only, you can easily view all the IP or analog (through RTSP) video streams. The
operator can control and configure the settings either through the user-friendly local display
OSD or by the intuitive web-based user interface.
The EMX32 provide two video outputs HDMI and VGA, and both video output ports can be used
simultaneously. It also has one RS-485 port for connecting joystick or keyboard. This slim,
compact and VESA-mountable design is easy to install and can be used anywhere such as retail
stores or offices.
