E4200 Control Workstation & D4200 Video Wall Decoder - Quick Start Guide 1

Introduction

� Max. 10,000 channels � 4K and 3-monitor display on E4200. � 4K and 4-monitor display on D4200. � Max. 1,000 synchronous live videos on a huge video wall � Hardware-based H.265 decoding � 50% increase of video display decoding by GPU � Turnkey management console with "directory server" built in

To follow the rapid change of video technology, GVD brought an upgrade to the Central Management Solution with a new management console named E4200 Control Workstation and a new Video Wall Decoder D4200.

The E4200 Control Workstation brings 3-monitor display to refine the remote management and the friendly man-machine interface of the Central Management Platform. The turnkey E4200 is built in with a "Directory Server" to provide a lighter and price-competitive solution of a command center and comes with an heightened GPU to bring a 50% boost of decoding compared to the previous-generation

products. Such a GPU also extends the display to triple monitors, with 4K (4096 x 2160) resolution on one of them. Hardware-based H.265 decoding also becomes available to meet the challenge of significant-area video surveillance such as city surveillance and homeland security.

The new Video Wall Decoder D4200 is yet another highlight of the upgrade. It has the GPU eqaully enhanced as the E4200 to feature an exclusive quad-monitor display, with 4K resolution on two of them. The decoding ability is equally raised by 50%. H.265 is also availiable. A huge video wall of max. 40 screens to show 1,000 synchronous live videos isn't difficult at all.
