Hikvision DC16 16-Channel 4K UHD Network Video Decoder with 256-Channel Decoding Capability

The Hikvision DC16 is an enterprise-grade ultra-high-definition video decoder engineered for professional video wall installations and command center operations requiring exceptional image quality and processing power. Featuring 16 dedicated HDMI 1.4 output ports capable of 4K (3840×2160@30Hz) ultra-HD resolution, this advanced decoder serves as the cornerstone of large-scale surveillance video wall deployments. The DC16 supports simultaneous decoding of up to 256 channels at 720p resolution or 128 channels at 1080p, with the capability to decode streams up to 32MP resolution, ensuring compatibility with the highest-resolution security cameras and network video recorders available today.

Built on an embedded hardware platform with dual gigabit Ethernet ports and dual optical interfaces supporting 100Base-FX/1000Base-X with optoelectronic self-adaptation, the DC16 delivers robust network connectivity for mission-critical surveillance operations. The decoder supports comprehensive video compression formats including H.265, H.264, Smart264, Smart265, and MJPEG, maximizing compatibility with diverse camera ecosystems while optimizing bandwidth utilization. Advanced frame synchronization technology ensures complete synchronization across all 16 output ports, eliminating lag, frame loss, tearing, or splicing artifacts for seamless video wall presentations. Two HDMI 1.4 input ports enable integration of external video sources including computers and video conference terminals, with encoding support for 2-channel 1080p@60fps or 1-channel 4K@30fps.

The DC16 excels in sophisticated video wall management, supporting up to 64 customizable scenes with 256 auto-switching plans for dynamic content rotation. Each screen accommodates up to 3 Full HD (1080p) or 1.5 4K signal source windows, with each window divisible into 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, or 25 sub-windows for flexible layout configurations. Comprehensive protocol support including ONVIF and GB28181 ensures seamless integration with third-party systems, while built-in PTZ control enables eight-directional camera operation, preset calling, focus adjustment, and zoom control directly from the video wall interface. Operating across -10°C to 55°C temperature range with 150W maximum power consumption, the rack-mountable DC16 (440×321×88mm, <8.42kg) provides enterprise-grade reliability for 24/7 command center operations, traffic management centers, security operations centers, and broadcast facilities demanding professional video wall performance at scale.
