Hanwha SPD-152/KEX 64-Channel IP Video Decoder
The Hanwha SPD-152/KEX is a professional-grade IP video decoder designed to consolidate up to 64 networked camera feeds into dual HDMI outputs. This compact, PoE-powered decoder enables security integrators, IT managers, and telecom professionals to build flexible multi-camera monitoring solutions without the complexity of transcoding or server-based systems.
Key Features
- Decodes up to 64 IP cameras simultaneously at 8MP resolution up to 60fps
- Dual HDMI output: HDMI#1 supports 4K (3840×2160@30Hz) with audio; HDMI#2 supports 1080p (1920×1080@60Hz)
- 20 independent display layouts with automated sequence mode for camera rotation
- Clone mode (single monitor, 64 channels) and expand mode (dual monitor configuration)
- Hardware decoding of H.265, H.264, and MJPEG codecs without transcoding overhead
- Dual power input: 12V DC or PoE (IEEE 802.3af) with low 11W power consumption
- Gigabit Ethernet connectivity (10/100/1000BASE-T) with 150 Mbps max bandwidth

Applications
Ideal for multi-site surveillance control centers, retail environments requiring centralized monitoring, transportation facilities, banking institutions, and enterprise campuses. The SPD-152/KEX scales from small 16-camera deployments to large 64-camera networks, making it suitable for distributed IP camera architectures where on-premise decoding and display integration are required.

The SPD-152/KEX addresses a critical gap in IP surveillance: professional-grade video decoding at the edge without server dependencies. Its hardware H.265 decoding engine eliminates transcoding bottlenecks, reducing CPU overhead and network congestion. The dual HDMI outputs with independent resolution and refresh rate support provide genuine operational flexibility—4K on primary displays, 1080p on auxiliary monitors.
ONVIF/SUNAPI/RTSP compatibility ensures integration with virtually any VMS platform. Low power consumption (11W) and compact form factor make it suitable for distributed monitoring stations, backup control rooms, or equipment racks with space constraints. The 150 Mbps bandwidth ceiling requires careful camera stream bitrate planning, particularly in high-frame-rate or multi-bitstream scenarios.
