RGB Spectrum D2002 – Zio 2K Video-over-IP Decoder

Product Overview

The RGB Spectrum D2002 is a Zio AV-over-IP decoder that receives 2K HD streams over an IP network and drives a 1080p/60 display, making it a cost-effective endpoint for video walls, control rooms, and distributed digital signage. This H.264 video over IP decoder attaches to a standard 1 Gigabit Ethernet switch and feeds a connected display with content from any compatible Zio encoder. With Power over Ethernet support and a compact half-rack footprint, it streamlines installation in commercial AV systems that replace dedicated matrix switching with IP distribution. Integrators specifying scalable AV-over-IP endpoints will find the D2002 an efficient HD decoder for enterprise and government deployments.

Product Description

The D2002 is the 2K decode endpoint in RGB Spectrum's Zio AV-over-IP platform, a family of encoders and decoders that distribute video, audio, and control over commodity IP networking instead of dedicated switchers. Zio endpoints attach to a 1 Gigabit Ethernet switch, with encoders accepting computer and video sources up to 2K and decoders such as the D2002 on the far side feeding displays at up to 1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz. The decoder is designed to work with compatible Zio encoders and other H.264/H.265 compliant devices, and it sits in the same family as the 4K-capable D2004 decoder.

Zio's peer-to-peer architecture avoids a single point of failure and scales across rooms, buildings, campuses, or cities as endpoints are added. The platform suits a local building LAN as well as lower-bandwidth links to remote sites, and it can bridge traditional baseband AV through RGB Spectrum's Linx matrix switchers so analog and digital sources coexist with IP traffic. A browser-based HTML5 control interface provides live stream thumbnails and lets operators manage endpoints from a PC, tablet, or phone.

Key Features

• 2K HD Decoding — Drives displays at up to 1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz for crisp full-HD playback over IP.
• H.264 Compression — Decodes industry-standard H.264 streams for efficient, low-bandwidth transport across LAN and WAN links.
• Power over Ethernet — PoE+ support delivers power and data over one cable to simplify display-side installation.
• Peer-to-Peer Scalability — Adds to a standard 1 Gigabit switch with no central matrix, growing from a single display to an entire campus.
• USB and Serial Control — Includes a USB-3 port and RS-232 serial control alongside network management.
• Browser-Based Control — An HTML5 interface manages streams and endpoints from Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android devices.
• Flexible Audio Support — Outputs digital embedded HDMI audio or analog mono with the decoded video.

Typical Applications

• Control rooms and command centers — Feeds operator displays and shared video walls with live HD IP streams.
• Conference rooms and boardrooms — Drives meeting-room displays with sources distributed over the building network.
• Government and security spaces — Supports scalable HD display distribution for facilities standardized on IP infrastructure.
• Training rooms and multi-purpose rooms — Delivers shared 1080p content to multiple displays without point-to-point cabling.
• Commercial digital signage — Receives source streams to drive HD displays distributed across rooms or buildings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What encoders is the D2002 compatible with?
It is designed to work with compatible Zio encoders and other H.264/H.265 compliant encode endpoints on the same network.

How is the decoder installed?
The unit has a compact 1" x 8" x 4" half-rack footprint, mounts near the display, and connects to a standard 1 Gigabit Ethernet switch; PoE+ lets a single cable carry both power and data.

How does it integrate with an existing AV system?
It attaches to a standard IP network and can bridge to traditional baseband AV through RGB Spectrum's Linx matrix switchers, with browser-based HTML5 control for stream and endpoint management.

What resolution does it output?
The D2002 decodes 2K streams and drives displays at up to 1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz, with display support up to 4096 x 2160 @ 24 Hz.

What is the warranty and how do I get support?
The D2002 carries a 1-year warranty. For application help, quotes, or support, contact Creation Networks at 888-230-3661 or our contact page.
