Encoders send video out as IP; the VePLAYER brings it back. Point it at a stream from your INFINIUM headend, YouTube, or any server and it decodes HEVC (H.265), H.264, MPEG-2, or MPEG-4 up to 4K, then outputs to a TV, monitor, or projector. With SRT ultra-low latency, auto-reconnect, and SAT auto-pairing with PVI encoders, it just works — reliably, 24/7.
VePLAYER IPTV Decoder
The Receiving End of Your System
Turn any IP stream back into clean video on a screen. The VePLAYER receives HEVC and H.264 up to 4K from your INFINIUM encoders, a LAN, any server, or the internet — and plays it to HDMI, VGA, or CVBS.
Capabilities
Plays Anything You Stream At It
From a single screen to a multi-display video wall, the VePLAYER decodes and displays your streams with broadcast reliability.
- Receives SRT, UDP, HTTP, HLS, RTP, RTSP, ONVIF, RTMP(S) — unicast & multicast
- Decodes HEVC / H.264 / MPEG-2 / MPEG-4 up to 4K (3840×2160@30 / 1080p@60)
- Outputs HDMI (up to 4K), VGA/RGB, analog CVBS SD, and L/R stereo audio
- Build IP video walls (2×2, 3×3…) from UDP multicast — zoom, rotation, logo
- Control via web interface or API/Telnet for any automation system
Video Walls & Monitoring
One Stream, Or a Wall of Them
Group multiple VePLAYER units from a single UDP multicast source to build seamless IP video walls for lobbies, control rooms, sports bars, and 24/7 monitoring.
Because every VePLAYER can pull the same multicast stream, scaling from one display to a full video wall is simply a matter of adding units and arranging the array. Image zoom, rotation, and logo insertion let you tailor each screen — all controllable remotely via API or Telnet.

FAQ
VePLAYER IPTV Decoder — FAQ
What does the VePLAYER do?
It is a decoder — the receiving end of a streaming system. It takes an IP stream (from your INFINIUM encoders, a server, or the internet) and plays it on a TV, monitor, or projector via HDMI, VGA, or CVBS.
Which formats and protocols can it receive?
It decodes HEVC (H.265), H.264, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4 up to 4K, received over SRT, UDP, HTTP, HLS, RTP, RTSP, ONVIF, and RTMP(S), in both unicast and multicast.
Does it work with INFINIUM encoders?
Yes — it is designed to pair with PVI encoders, including the INFINIUM encoder cards, and supports SAT auto-pairing so it connects to your VeCaster/VeCoder/INFINIUM sources automatically.
Can it build a video wall?
Yes. Group multiple VePLAYER units pulling the same UDP multicast stream to build IP video walls in 2×2, 3×3, or larger arrays, with per-screen zoom, rotation, and logo.
How do I control it?
Through a built-in HTTP web interface, or via API/Telnet commands so it integrates cleanly with Crestron, AMX, and other automation controllers.
What is the latency?
With SRT, latency is as low as 50 ms plus network travel time. Auto-reconnect restores playback automatically after any network interruption.
Do I need the INFINIUM chassis to use it?
No — the VePLAYER is a standalone device. It pairs naturally with the INFINIUM ecosystem but can decode streams from any compatible source.
