RGB Spectrum 920 12293 – Rack Shelf Kit for Zio2

Product Overview

The RGB Spectrum 920 12293 is a rack shelf kit for Zio 2 endpoints and QV/SV IPX multiviewers. It gives the integrator a defined way to secure these units in a standard equipment rack instead of leaving them loose on a shelf. Rack mounting the head-end keeps cabling, airflow and service access predictable in a control room or operations centre rack. Specify it alongside the Zio2 encoder endpoints it is intended to hold.

Product Description

Loose AV-over-IP endpoints in a rack create avoidable problems: strained connectors, unclear service access and difficulty tracing which unit serves which source. The 920 12293 rack shelf kit addresses that by fixing Zio 2 and QV/SV IPX units into the rack frame so each device has a known position. RGB Spectrum lists the part as a rack shelf kit for Zio 2 or QV/SV IPX and does not publish a datasheet for it, so dimensions and unit capacity should be confirmed before ordering. In practice it is specified with the multichannel Zio2 encoders that sit in a head-end rack: the Zio2 S5022 encoder, the Zio2 S5024 encoder and the Zio2 S5042 encoder. Note that the smaller Zio 2100 series endpoints use a different accessory: up to ten Zio S2000 or D2000 units mount in the Zio RAK 6RU rackmount shelf. For endpoints installed at a display or table position rather than in a rack, the separate 920 12645 wall and table mount is the appropriate part. Ordering the mounting hardware with the endpoints at the same time avoids a second procurement cycle once the rack build starts. Creation Networks can confirm which kit matches the exact endpoint mix on a given project before the order is placed.

Key Features

• Rack-Mount Retention — The kit secures Zio 2 and QV/SV IPX units in a standard equipment rack so each device has a fixed, serviceable position.
• Head-End Cable Management — Fixing the units in the rack keeps connector strain and cable routing under control at the AV-over-IP head-end.
• Zio2 Encoder Compatibility — RGB Spectrum specifies the kit for Zio 2 endpoints, which covers the multichannel Zio2 S5000 series encoders.
• Multiviewer Compatibility — The same kit is specified for QV IPX and SV IPX multiviewers, so a mixed rack can use one mounting standard.
• Specified Accessory — Using the vendor-listed mounting kit keeps the installation consistent with how RGB Spectrum intends these units to be racked.

Typical Applications

• Control Room — Head-end encoders and multiviewers are secured in the rack where operators depend on them running continuously.
• Command Center — A fixed rack position for each endpoint makes fault isolation faster during an active incident.
• Operations Center — Consistent rack mounting keeps service access predictable in a room that runs around the clock.
• Broadcast Studio — Rack-mounted encoders and multiviewers keep machine-room cabling orderly and traceable.
• Government Space — Documented, fixed equipment positions support asset tracking and maintenance procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which units does the 920 12293 fit?
RGB Spectrum lists it as a rack shelf kit for Zio 2 or QV/SV IPX. In practice that covers the multichannel Zio2 encoders such as the Zio2 S5022 and Zio2 S5042, plus QV IPX and SV IPX multiviewers.

Will it mount Zio 2100 series encoders and decoders?
No. The Zio 2100 series endpoints use the Zio RAK 6RU rackmount shelf, which RGB Spectrum specifies for up to ten Zio S2000 or D2000 units.

How many units does one kit hold?
RGB Spectrum does not publish a capacity figure or a datasheet for this part number. Contact Creation Networks to confirm capacity for your endpoint mix before ordering.

What rack space does it occupy?
No rack unit height is published for this part number. Confirm the figure with Creation Networks before finalising a rack elevation drawing.

Is any additional hardware needed?
Rack screws, cage nuts and cable management are project-dependent and not published as part of this kit. Review the rack build with Creation Networks so nothing is missing on delivery.

Can I mount an endpoint at a display instead of in a rack?
Yes. For a single endpoint at a display or table position, specify the 920 12645 wall and table mount rather than a rack kit.

What warranty and support apply?
The RGB Spectrum manufacturer warranty applies to this part number. Creation Networks supports specification, configuration review and procurement, and can route warranty and technical support requests to RGB Spectrum.
