Hikvision DS-6920UDI-U(D) 20-Output Video Wall Decoder
- Resolution
- CIF (352 × 288)
A 2U decoder that feeds up to 20 HDMI outputs from one chassis, turning network camera and recorder streams into video wall content. It decodes up to 360 channels across the system, supports 2.6 MP per output, and manages 8 video walls with 128 scenes. Well suited to security control rooms in Doha, Lusail and industrial sites that monitor many feeds at once. Request a quote from our team.
A 2U decoder built for multi-screen monitoring
The DS-6920UDI-U(D) is a 2U video decoder that takes network video from cameras, NVRs, DVRs and XVRs and shows it across a wall of up to 20 HDMI-connected screens. Instead of wiring each display to its own player, operators manage the whole wall from one chassis, using a PC client or a web browser. It is aimed at small to medium surveillance installations where a control room needs many live feeds on screen at once.
Output density and LED wall support
Each unit provides 20 HDMI 1.4 outputs, with a maximum output resolution of 4K at 30 Hz. The figures that matter most when planning are:
- 20 outputs: one chassis drives up to 20 displays.
- 2.6 MP per port: the maximum LED load on each output, with widths from 144 to 3,840 pixels and heights from 144 to 2,160 pixels.
- Window division: each output can split into 1, 4, 6, 8, 9, 16, 25 or 36 windows, arranged in rows and columns you configure.
Map each output to a physical panel or LED section before ordering, because the per-port load figure sets how much picture a single output can carry.
Decoding capacity, scenes and live view
Decoding capacity is the limit that matters most for camera-heavy sites. The unit decodes up to 360 channels across the system, with 180 channels at 1080p and 30 fps, or 360 channels at 720p and 30 fps. The capability table lists mixed combinations, such as 10 channels of 32 MP, 40 channels of 8 MP or 90 channels of 4 MP, so the camera mix should be checked against these figures.
Up to 128 saved scenes can each carry a custom wall layout, with automatic switching every 3 seconds. Live view supports 4 channels on the wall, each video wall can carry up to 4 subtitles, and the system supports 9 subtitles in total. Up to 4 JPG or JPEG background images can be loaded.
Where it fits in Qatar
- Security operations room: a facilities team in Doha or Lusail can show entrance, car park and perimeter cameras on one wall, with scenes switching by shift or by zone.
- Industrial site control room: an energy or industrial company in Mesaieed or Ras Laffan can watch access points and yards from a central room.
- Transport and airport operations: a team near Hamad International Airport can build a multi-zone wall that combines camera feeds with on-screen labels.
Planning the installation
The chassis measures 442 mm wide, 88.1 mm high and 385 mm deep, and weighs 8.27 kg net. It draws 200 W and accepts 100 to 240 VAC at 50 or 60 Hz, a range that covers Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz supply. The source data gives a working humidity range of 10% to 90% RH without condensation but does not state an operating temperature range, so confirm the room's cooling and ventilation with SmartRooms Qatar before installation, particularly in spaces that reach above 45°C in summer. A free site survey lets our team check the mounting space, cable routes to the display wall and the power arrangement before anything is fitted.
To connect the wall, use the HDMI outputs, the 10 Gigabit SFP+ port or the two 1000 Mbps Ethernet ports for the network, and plan audio routing through the HDMI embedded audio inputs and four audio outputs.
