NVR Streaming Limits

I've been going through links here in the forum where it is generally mentioned that the decoding capacity of an NVR is solely related to its ability to push video out through its video interfaces (VGA or HDMI).

What is the case when watching video on mobile (hik connect for example) or on the NVR web ui? Are the laptop or mobile doing the decoding?

Ive done some packet captures and the video stream is coming directly from NVR, does this mean that it is just "forwarding" rtsp streams from the ip cameras and not doing any cpu intensive tasks at all? Also is the NVR pushing video to the client in the same format/encoding that the ip camera encoded it?

Thanks.
