Antrica have been an industry leading manufacturer and supplier of hardware video encoders & decoders, including Codec Decoders for 15 years. They specialise in this niche video over IP industry and their products stand out due to their performance, integration, performance and compatibility. Due to this, Antrica have become a trusted and respected supplier across the globe.
A video decoder (Codec) is an electronic circuit (hardware) or piece of software that decompresses digital video in either a H.264 or H.265 format. It converts compressed video to an un-compressed format, which is then displayed onto a monitor for viewing purposes, or recorded locally on the edge USB / SD card format. Our decoders can decode up to 100 IP streams, and can display these in multiple viewing layouts. We have a variety of different ways to control the decoders – by API , remote control ,RS232 or 485 – joystick , IR Control or web interface.
A common use of this application is where a security guard would like a view-only station of CCTV camera images to monitor. By using a decoder with a monitor, it eliminates the need for a PC and due to the dedicated nature of the product, it is very powerful and effective.
Depending on the requirements, decoders can also give full PTZ control by connecting a joystick to the decoder and controlling a camera remotely over a network.
At Antrica, we understand the importance of a professional, qualified and expert approach. For 15 years, our team of UK specialists have worked with system integrators & organisations from all over the world find the perfect video encoder or decoder solution.

The ANT-3xxxx range is fully ONVIF Profile S & G Compliant.
A fully ONVIF encoder will 100% work as ONVIF guarantees compatibility (ANT-3XXXX range). However, if you need a ‘view only’ stream and can live without ONVIF discovery then we have the ANT-2XXX range which can sometimes integrate. We can provide a public IP stream for you to test if you need.
Yes, we do for larger projects. We also offer a remote way of testing the stream’s integration.
Any H.265 option will be suitable.
The ANT-36100, as it has alarm/serial data controls, as well as PoE, and is a more industrial-type decoder.
Yes. Providing you have anti-static handling procedures in place, these can be used in any applications where it can be ‘housed’.
Yes and no. Any decoding and re-encoding potentially reduces the quality, but using sufficiently high bit rates will allow the quality to look as good as the original.
Yes, these are intended to be low-latency wireless links with Video in and Video out.
Some of our decoders don’t have HD-SDI as an output. These converters offer a solution to have an HD-SDI output when required.
Antrica have taken on the challenge of reducing to zero all single use plastic within its packaging of Encoders and Decoders by the end of 2020. We are also striving to provide paperless shipments wherever possible.
