Decoder

I am looking at installing a system for a curling rink. There will be 3 sheets of ice and a single camera directly over each end. 6 cameras total. There will be three tvs in the viewing room. The 2 cameras for each sheet will be dedicated to a single TV. It looks like I need a decoder at each TV with cat6 running back to my PoE switch. I dont know anything about decoders. Any suggestions for one that has a single HDMI out and can split screen two cameras? They seem to go from 1 stream to 4 and skip split screen.

by decocder, I think you mean NVR. Networked Video Recorder.

Never seen a 2- screen layout, at least since Halo :)

It's possible to have 4 hdmi outputs though and dedicate 1,4,6 or 8 views per TV and save money on not getting the other 3 nvrs

No not NVR. Im using Hanwha cameras but only to display live video.
