NMX-ENC-N2312-C Encoder Card N2300 Series 4K UHD Video over IP Card Encoder with KVM, PoE

NMX-ENC-N2312 Encoder & NMX-DEC-N2322 Decoder Overview

The NMX-ENC-N2312 Encoder and NMX-DEC-N2322 Decoder provide a flexible, high-performance Digital Media Distribution and Switching solution, supporting 4K video up to 4096×2160 with HDCP 2.2 compliance. Utilizing a motion-based wavelet codec, this solution delivers nearly imperceptible latency while consuming only ~200 Mb/s bandwidth, enabling 4K distribution over standard gigabit Ethernet networks.

Any video source can be routed to one or multiple displays via layer-2 / layer-3 switches using standard Cat5e cable. The NMX-ENC-N2312 supports input scaling, bi-directional serial, IR control, embedded 7.1 audio, and KVM-over-IP extension, and is also available as a card version compatible with the N9206 rack cage for high-density installations.

Key Features

• Design Flexibility: Expand the system incrementally by adding additional encoders and decoders; scales from 1×1 upwards.

• Advanced Security: Supports SSL/TLS and HTTPS, meeting enterprise network security standards.

• Infrared (IR): Control IR-only display devices via emitter connection.

• Fast Installation: Phoenix connectors for Power, IR, RS232 serial, and analog audio.

• Audio Support: Balanced/unbalanced analog audio and embedded 7.1 digital audio.
