Decoder is a device that receives a network stream or encoded signal and converts it back for a display or audio system.
Example of Decoder
A centralized Apple TV, cable box, or media player can be routed to the kitchen, bedroom, theater, or patio with the correct remote controls in each room. In that kind of Davis distributed video project, the term Decoder would describe a device that receives a network stream or encoded signal and converts it back for a display or audio system. Davis would use that understanding to account for source locations, matrix or switching equipment, cabling, remotes, and room-by-room source access, then test the result in the actual room, document the related components, and show the client how to use the feature without needing to manage the technical details behind it.
