NV Series Endpoint as a Decoder
The NV-32-H and the NV-21-HU Video Endpoints can be configured as Decoders in Q-SYS Software. Decoding is the process of decoding or un-compressing encoded video in real-time. A video decoder converts an encoded video stream to HDMI for display on a screen.

- In Q-SYS Designer Software, you can place your NV Series device into the design like any other Q-SYS Component, located in the Video category under Audio-Video I/O.
- v9.8.2 and later: Add an NV-21-HU to the design.
- v8.1 and later: Add an NV-32-H to the design.
- Under Properties, configure the parameters as needed. In the examples portrayed in this topic, the only configuration necessary in most cases is selecting Encoder or Decoder.
- You can set up multiple NV Series Endpoints devices in the design as needed to accommodate additional sources, displays, and locations.

As a decoder, the NV-32-H can receive a single 4K60 AV stream from the network and deliver it to HDMI Out 1. The HDMI output will automatically scale to the resolution of the connected display.
When set as a single-output decoder, the NV-32-H can select from AV streams as well as locally connected HDMI sources.
With both outputs HDMI 1 and HDMI 2 enabled, the NV-32-H can select any two content sources from among network AV streams and the local HDMI inputs. It will scale the output content to match the resolution of the displays.
