OVERVIEW
The MAX-CSD10 Decoder is engineered to provide real-time decoding of MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 digital video content into Composite or S-Video for viewing on a display device such as a television, plasma screen, projector or AMX Touch Panel. When paired with the Encoder (MAX-CSE), the pair allows audio and video signals to be delivered in real-time across an existing IP network.

COMMON APPLICATION
The Decoder is ideal for decoding audio and video signals being delivered in real-time via an IP network for broadcast to classrooms, boardrooms, training facilities, retail store branches, and other commercial settings.
