Summary
-
DS-9632NI-I8: Older Ultra Series platform, now discontinued. Still capable, but limited in decoding power, bandwidth, and display resolution compared to newer models.
-
DS-9632NI-M8: Direct successor with significantly higher decoding performance, higher outbound bandwidth, and 8K display support, making it the correct choice for new large-scale or high-megapixel deployments.
