UserManualofDS‐6101DIDecoder
1.1 Description
Developed on the basis of TI DM6467 platform, DS-6101DI is a kind of multi-purpose video/audio decoder which
is capable of allowing the coded images from DVR/DVS or other encoding devices to be decoded and displayed on
the TV wall after transmission via network. Specially designed for the allocation and management of the video
surveillance system, DS-6101DI supports multiple network transmission protocols, and it applies the code
downloaded in FLASH, ensuring high stability and reliability of system performance.
DS-6101DI is capable of decoding video images at 4CIF/DCIF/2CIF/CIF/QCIF resolution, and outputting video via
BNC port. The product is also designed with voice talk and alarm in/out capabilities.
1.2 Features
Decoding
Decoding images and audio
Private H.264, standard H.264 and MPEG4 video compression methods;
Support PS, RTP and private customized encapsulation formats;
PAL and NTSC image formats;
Decode video images at 4CIF/DCIF/2CIF/CIF/QCIF resolution;
G.722, G.711A and G.711U video compression methods.
Decoding Resources
DS-6101DI is capable of decoding up to 4-ch video stream at CIF resolution or 1-ch at 4CIF resolution.
DS-6101DI provides 1 BNC output for 1/2/4-division display mode.
Decoding Mode
Multiple transmission methods: support TCP, UDP, MCAST and RTP transmission.
Dynamic decoding: log on the remote encoder or remote stream media server to select a channel of video
source to acquire video stream, and then decode and output the video for local display.
Cycle decoding: set multiple remote monitoring channels on a decoding channel, and the decoder is capable of
performing cycle decoding according to the configured sequence and time. The stream sources can be obtained
via remote access to the encoder or stream media server and decoded for local output. A maximum of 64
channels are allowed for cycle decoding.
Obtain stream from stream media server: receive real-time data by remote access to stream media server, and
then decode stream for local output. The private RTSP is adopted as the control protocol, and the TCP/UDP is
used for receiving the data stream.
Remote playback of encoders record files: by remote access to the encoder with storage capability, and
directly obtain the record files from the encoder, and finally decode for local output.
Passive decoding: the decoder passively receives stream sources, and then proceeds decoding and transmission.
Passive decoding supports TCP and UDP transmission modes.
Third-party IPCamera Access
Multiple brands of IP cameras from different manufactures are supported: Sony, Panasonic, Sanyo, Axis, Bosch,
etc. Please refer to Appendix B.
Note: DS-6101DI is capable of decoding at up to 4CIF resolution, thus resolution higher than 4CIF from

administrator only; no deletion of the administrator is allowed, and the administrator is authorized to set the
operation permissions for normal users.
SDK Interface
Transparent Channel
The decoder adopts the RS-232/RS-485 serial interface to realize transparent transmission. The data sent
remotely to the decoder via network can be transmitted by RS-232/RS-485 interface of decoder without any
handling, and the transparent channel of the decoder supports multi-cast transparent transmission as well, and
multiple transparent channels can be established simultaneously.
PTZ Control
7

UserManualofDS‐6101DIDecoder
Through SDK transparent channel, the PTZ of DVR or DVS can be remotely controlled.
Voice Talk
The decoder is capable of realizing voice talk with the remote client. When the client has submitted application,
the voice talk between the client and decoder is created.
