ZeeVee Z4KDPENCC3U ZyPer4K Extended HDMI 2.0 & Display Port Copper Encoder with USB - Z4KDPENCC3U

Product Overview

The ZeeVee Z4KDPENCC3U is a ZyPer4K SDVoE copper encoder with HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.3, and USB 2.0 extension, designed for commercial AV installations requiring a DisplayPort 4K AV-over-IP encoder with integrated KVM capability. It transmits uncompressed 4KP60 4:4:4 video and extends a USB 2.0 peripheral over a standard 10GbE copper network. This model is the USB-equipped variant of the Z4KDPENCC3, making it the preferred choice for control room, collaboration, and KVM-over-IP deployments.

Product Description

The Z4KDPENCC3U adds a single USB 2.0 port to the ZyPer4K Extended encoder platform, enabling keyboard, mouse, and peripheral extension across the SDVoE distribution network alongside 4K video. The encoder accepts either HDMI 2.0 or DisplayPort 1.3 input from workstations, media servers, or AV equipment, transmitting over Cat6a copper at 10Gb with a maximum run of 100 meters. It integrates into the ZyPer Management Platform (ZMP) for centralized routing, video wall management (up to 15x15), and multiview configurations of up to 19 simultaneous sources. AES-128 network encryption and HDCP 2.2 content protection are standard. RS-232 (9-pin D-sub, 115.2 kbps) and IR (3.5mm) pass-through enable third-party control system integration. With approximately 9W power consumption, the Z4KDPENCC3U is deployable at scale without significant power infrastructure changes.

Key Features

• HDMI 2.0 + DisplayPort 1.3 Input — Accepts either source connector without adapters, covering mixed-source environments.
• USB 2.0 Extension — Extends a single USB 2.0 peripheral (keyboard, mouse, USB device) over the IP network for KVM-over-IP capability.
• Uncompressed 4KP60 4:4:4 over 10GbE Copper — Zero-latency, full-bandwidth 4K video over Cat6a up to 100m.
• SDVoE / ZyPer Management Platform — Centralized routing, video wall, and multiview managed via ZMP.
• Video Wall Support — Up to 15x15 video wall configurations.
• Multiview — Up to 19 sources on a single display.
• HDCP 2.2 + AES-128 Encryption — End-to-end content protection and encrypted transmission.
• RS-232 & IR Pass-Through — Full control system integration via 9-pin D-sub and 3.5mm IR jacks.
• Low Power Draw — ~9W per unit for scalable, high-density deployments.
• 3-Year Warranty — ZeeVee standard commercial coverage.

Typical Applications

• KVM-over-IP systems where USB peripheral extension is required alongside 4K video
• Control rooms with workstation DisplayPort outputs and shared peripheral infrastructure
• Enterprise collaboration spaces with mixed HDMI/DisplayPort source environments
• Higher education AV distribution requiring USB device sharing across rooms
• Government and defense facilities with AES-128 encrypted AV-over-IP requirements

Frequently Asked Questions

What USB devices are supported over the network?

The USB 2.0 port supports standard HID devices (keyboard, mouse) and most USB 2.0 peripherals. High-bandwidth USB devices such as webcams or storage drives may have limitations depending on network latency. Verify specific peripheral compatibility with ZeeVee prior to deployment.

Can HDMI and DisplayPort inputs be used simultaneously?

No. The encoder supports one active video input at a time. The dual-input design eliminates the need for an adapter when the source is either HDMI 2.0 or DisplayPort 1.3.

What is the difference between the Z4KDPENCC3 and Z4KDPENCC3U?

The Z4KDPENCC3U adds a single USB 2.0 port for peripheral extension over the IP network. All other specifications are identical. Choose the U model when KVM or USB device sharing is required.

Is a dedicated ZMP server required?

Yes. The ZyPer Management Platform runs on a dedicated server or VM and is required for all routing, video wall, and multiview management functions.

What switching infrastructure is needed?

A managed 10GbE switch supporting IGMP snooping and jumbo frames is required. ZeeVee publishes a compatibility list of validated switches for ZyPer4K deployments.

Does the unit support fiber connections?

No. This is the copper variant. For fiber runs up to 300m, see the Z4KDPENCF3U (fiber with USB).
