1080P60 H.265 AV over IP KVM Decoder
AVO-IP265HDK-DEC 1080p60 H.265 AV over IP KVM decoder: add controllable displays with USB-KVM, bidirectional IR and RS-232, matrix and 9x9 video wall over…
Adds a controllable display to an existing H.265 AV-over-IP system without adding another encoder. The AVO-IP265HDK-DEC is a 1080p60 KVM decoder in a black metal enclosure that drives one HDMI display from any source on a standard 1G managed network, powered by PoE (802.3af Class 3) from the same switch port that carries video or by a local 12V/1A supply. It distributes point-to-point, one-to-many, in a distributed matrix, and across a video wall up to 9×9, extending signals up to 328 ft (100 m) over CAT5E/6/6A/7. It is the right choice for control rooms, dispatch floors, sports bars, houses of worship, and classrooms where screen count, USB/KVM control, and per-endpoint cost matter more than 4K. Every display added on the network can re-route any encoder's source through the Web GUI, IR, RS-232, TCP/IP, or a Controller Box, with H.265/H.264 compression at up to 1920×1200@60Hz 4:4:4 and main-stream/sub-stream encoding to manage bandwidth. Beyond video, it keeps the control plane intact: USB/KVM host control one-to-one and one-to-many, bidirectional IR and RS-232 (pass-through and Guest mode), and analog audio de-embedding to a 3-pin phoenix output. As the decode half of a split architecture, it lets integrators order only the direction each job needs and turn display expansion into a simple per-screen add-on, pairing with the AVO-IP265HDK-ENC encoder, sold separately.

Questions
- What video compression does the AVO-IP265HDK-DEC use, and how much video bandwidth does it carry?
- The AVO-IP265HDK-DEC decodes H.265 / H.264 compression and supports HDMI at up to 4.95 Gbps and streams it at 8 Mb/s by default (adjustable; sub stream 1 Mb/s).
- What color depth does the AVO-IP265HDK-DEC handle?
- Input accepts 8-bit, 10-bit, and 12-bit (at 1080p@60Hz); the output is 8-bit.
- How is the AVO-IP265HDK-DEC controlled?
- It can be controlled by IR, RS-232, TCP/IP, Web GUI, and a Controller Box.
- How do I pair the AVO-IP265HDK-DEC to an encoder over RS-232?
- Connect the decoder's 3-pin phoenix RS-232 port (TX, Ground, RX) to a PC or control system and send !OUT xxx FR yyy\r\n, where xxx is the decoder ID and yyy is the encoder ID.
- How is it powered?
- PoE 802.3af Class 3 from the switch, or DC 12V/1A adapter; no adapter needed with PoE.
- How is it rack mounted?
- Up to 10 units per 6U or 4 per 1U using the included mounting ears and screws.
- Unit won't power on?
- Confirm PoE 802.3af on the switch port or connect the DC 12V/1A adapter.
- The display on my AVO-IP265HDK-DEC shows no picture. What do I check?
- First check the POWER LED, which should be solid on (flashing at 2 Hz means it is still starting up). Then read the green LINK LED: off means it is not connected to the network, flashing means it is connected but receiving no video data (check the encoder and source), and on means video data is pres
- Why is the KVM decoder sold separately?
- So integrators add controllable display endpoints without buying redundant encoders, and KanexPro can list a single KVM decoder SKU online.
- Can I add operator positions later?
- Yes — drop in a decoder, pair it to an encoder via the controller or RS-232, plug in keyboard/mouse, and it joins the KVM system.
