AMX-N26D001 vs AMX-N26E001 — Compare
AMX NMX-DEC-N2622S AMX N2600 Decoder, Dual Stream Codec vs AMX NMX-ENC-N2612S AMX N2600 Encoder, Dual Stream Codec
The NMX-DEC-N2622S is a decoder that receives and processes encoded video streams, while the NMX-ENC-N2612S is an encoder that captures and compresses video for distribution. Choose the decoder if you need to display networked video feeds; choose the encoder if you need to send video into a networked AV system.

Why choose AMX NMX-ENC-N2612S AMX N2600 Encoder, Dual Stream Codec
- ✓ Simultaneous dual-stream encoding: 4K60 4:4:4 MWC plus 1080p H.264 in one device
- ✓ Eliminates need for separate encoders by supporting both high-fidelity and bandwidth-constrained feeds
- ✓ Supports wide range of resolutions including 4K and DCI 4K formats
- ✓ Essential for live performance and studio session distribution
Frequently asked questions
What is the functional difference between these two units?
The decoder (N2622S) receives and decompresses encoded video signals for display output, while the encoder (N2612S) captures video sources and compresses them for network transmission. They are complementary devices in a complete AV-over-IP system.
Can these units work together in the same installation?
Yes. The encoder compresses video from a source and sends it across the network; decoders receive that stream and display it on local HDMI outputs at multiple endpoints. The encoder's Virtual Network USB 2.0 Hub can support connection to up to four decoders.
Which unit handles higher resolution outputs?
The encoder (N2612S) explicitly supports 4K60 4:4:4 with full color depth, while the decoder (N2622S) decodes 4K60 MWC and 1080p H.26x streams. Both handle 4K but the encoder emphasizes color fidelity on the primary stream.
Are these units suitable for live event work?
Both are professional-grade and network-capable. The encoder is specifically listed for live performance distribution, while the decoder is designed for live event AV distribution at receiving endpoints. Use the encoder at your source and decoders at your display locations.
