The VePLAYER ULTRA-4 RACK is the multichannel decoder for control rooms, video walls, and broadcast monitoring. It receives up to four IP streams from your VeCASTER, VeCODER, or INFINIUM encoders, decodes HEVC or H.264 up to 4K, and outputs to both HDMI and 3G-HD-SDI — with built-in video-wall, mosaic, zoom, and rotation modes, all under API/Telnet control.
4-Channel Rack IP Video Decoder
Four Streams, One Rack, Any Output
Decode up to four independent IP streams to HDMI and SDI — drive a video wall, a monitoring mosaic, or four separate displays from a single rack unit.
Capabilities
Walls, Mosaics, and Multi-Display
One rack unit becomes a video-wall driver, a monitoring mosaic, or four independent decoders — switchable in software.
- 4 independent decode channels in one rack chassis
- Receives SRT, UDP, HTTP, HLS, RTP, RTSP, ONVIF, RTMP(S) · unicast & multicast
- Decodes HEVC / H.264 up to 4K · HDMI and 3G-HD-SDI outputs
- Video-wall (2×2, 3×3…), mosaic monitoring, selective zoom & rotation
- API / Telnet control · auto-reconnect · auto-pairing with PVI encoders
Completes the Chain
The Control-Room Decoder
Monitor four encoder feeds at once, drive a lobby video wall, or feed four broadcast monitors over SDI — from a single managed unit.
Pair with VeCASTER or VeCODER encoders, or the INFINIUM 4K headend. Need a single channel with NDI? See the VePLAYER PRO. Need the affordable single-display endpoint? See the IPdecoder HD 4K.

FAQ
VePLAYER ULTRA-4 RACK — FAQ
How many streams can it decode at once?
Up to four independent IP streams simultaneously, each to its own output or combined into a video wall or monitoring mosaic.
Does it output both HDMI and SDI?
Yes. It provides HDMI and 3G-HD-SDI outputs, so it fits both AV/display and broadcast monitoring environments.
Can it drive a video wall?
Yes — built-in video-wall modes (2×2, 3×3, and more) plus mosaic, selective zoom, and rotation let one unit drive multi-screen layouts.
Is it controllable by automation?
Yes. A full API and Telnet interface integrates the decoder into control-room and broadcast automation systems.
What streams can it receive?
SRT, UDP, HTTP, HLS, RTP, RTSP, ONVIF, and RTMP(S), unicast or multicast, decoding HEVC and H.264 up to 4K.
How does it pair with encoders?
It auto-pairs with PVI encoders (VeCASTER, VeCODER, INFINIUM) and auto-reconnects after a network interruption.
When should I choose a single-channel decoder instead?
For one display, the VePLAYER or VePLAYER PRO (with NDI) is more economical. The ULTRA-4 RACK is for multichannel walls, mosaics, and control rooms.
