Project Background

A metro operator managing multiple lines and dozens of stations needed a reliable, scalable solution to distribute broadcast announcements, real-time arrival and departure information, safety messages, and advertising content simultaneously across all station platforms and on-board train displays. The existing system lacked centralized control, suffered from signal degradation over long cable runs, and could not support the growing demand for 4K-quality visual content.

By deploying ORIVISION 4K Video Decoders directly into the PIS (Passenger Information System) hardware infrastructure, network IP streams are decoded with ultra-low latency and rendered seamlessly onto station and carriage screens in real time.

Customer Requirements

Flawless delivery of audio-visual announcements, schedules, and dynamic media.

Instant display updates for next station arrivals and crucial timing info.

Large-scale network routing to screens distributed across kilometers of tracks and moving train carriages.

Streamlined remote management capabilities to eliminate frequent physical on-site maintenance.

Hardened performance to tolerate harsh, dusty, and high-vibration subway deployment environments.

Solution Highlights

Real-time Decoding

Decode IP streams with ultra-low latency for real-time broadcast announcements and live arrival data. Passengers receive accurate information the moment it is published from the control center.

4K High Quality Output

Supports up to 4K@30Hz HDMI output, delivering sharp text rendering and vivid video playback on large-format station screens. Every detail — from timetables to safety graphics — is clearly readable.

Multiple Protocol Support

Fully compatible with RTSP, UDP, HTTP, HLS, SRT, and ONVIF — enabling seamless integration with existing broadcast servers, streaming servers, and third-party PIS management platforms without additional middleware.

Easy Remote Management

Web UI management, remote firmware upgrade, and centralized device control from a single dashboard. Maintenance engineers can diagnose and update all decoders across all stations without on-site visits, significantly reducing operational costs.

Industrial-Grade Reliability

Hardware engineered for continuous 24/7 operation in harsh environments — wide operating temperature range, high-humidity tolerance, and stable performance in the electromagnetic interference conditions typical of underground rail infrastructure.

Scalable IP Architecture

IP-based distribution over standard Gigabit Ethernet eliminates the need for dedicated coaxial or fiber infrastructure per screen. The system scales easily as the metro network expands — simply add decoders to the existing network.

Testimonials

Passengers receive accurate service updates, safety alerts, and emergency notices without delay across every station and train in the network

Clear and timely broadcast announcements

Real-time data feeds are decoded and displayed with sub-second latency, improving platform crowd management and reducing passenger confusion

Accurate next-station and arrival information

centralized stream distribution ensures every screen shows identical, synchronized content regardless of location

Consistent playback across all stations and trains

Remote management and Web UI monitoring allow the operations team to handle most maintenance tasks from the control center, cutting field service expenses by eliminating routine site visits

Reduced maintenance cost and on-site support

High-quality 4K visuals and real-time information increase passenger confidence in the transit service and contribute to overall satisfaction scores

Enhanced passenger experience and satisfaction

Deployment Result

ORIVISION IP video decoders are deployed across multiple stations and train sets, driving platform displays, in-train information panels, and advertising screens simultaneously via a single IP network backbone

The control center can schedule, update, and monitor all display content from one platform — replacing the previous manual, per-screen content update process
