The IP-DXL Display Control Center can send commands for channel, volume and power to the QIP-D and QIP-DVX IPTV Decoder/Controllers. The QIP-D and QIP-DVX IPTV Decoder/Controllers are MPEG2/H.264 IPTV Decoders with built-in display control and have an onboard database of control protocols for common displays. Display, power, and source selection commands are sent through the decoder/controllers and translated to the protocol specific to the display. As a result, custom programming is not required for display control.
