RGB Spectrum Zio D2112 – 2K AV-over-IP Decoder Endpoint

Product Overview

The RGB Spectrum Zio D2112 is a single-channel AV-over-IP decoder endpoint that receives one compressed IP video stream and drives a local display over HDMI or DisplayPort. It is built for control rooms, command centers and digital signage networks where the decoder has to sit at the display rather than in the head-end rack. RGB Spectrum publishes the D2112 input resolution as up to 1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz with output up to 4096 x 2160 @ 60 Hz, so a 2K stream can still fill a 4K panel. As a member of the Zio D2100 series decoder endpoint family, it pairs directly with Zio S2100 encoders on the same gigabit network.

Product Description

The Zio D2112 decodes H.264 and H.265 streams delivered over RTSP with unicast or multicast transport, so one encoder can feed many decoder endpoints without multiplying network load. The stream arrives on a single RJ-45 gigabit port, which means an existing structured cabling run to the display position is usually the only infrastructure the endpoint needs. Video leaves the unit on an HDMI 2.0 output or a DisplayPort 1.4 output, with audio embedded in HDMI.

Commissioning and stream assignment are handled from a browser-based HTML5 interface that runs on Windows, macOS, iOS, iPadOS and Android, so an integrator can configure the endpoint from a laptop or tablet without loading vendor software. The chassis measures 1.83 x 5.61 x 6.27 inches and weighs 1.75 lbs, small enough to mount behind a panel, inside a lectern or on a credenza shelf. For head-end and equipment-room work, up to ten Zio S2000 or D2000 units sit in the Zio RAK 6RU rackmount shelf, while a single unit at a display position can be fixed with the 920 12645 wall and table mount. On the source side, the usual pairings are the Zio S2112 encoder endpoint for 2K capture and the Zio S2114 encoder endpoint where a 4K source has to be encoded. Because the output scales to 4096 x 2160 @ 60 Hz, a mixed 2K and 4K display estate can be served from one pool of streams. This makes the D2112 a practical choice for multicast RTSP decoding in commercial AV projects that grow one display at a time.

Key Features

• Single-Stream 2K Decoding — RGB Spectrum publishes D2112 input support up to 1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz, matching the resolution most operational sources actually produce.
• 4K Display Output — The decoder outputs up to 4096 x 2160 @ 60 Hz, so a 2K stream can be presented full-screen on a 4K commercial panel without an external scaler.
• Dual Display Connectors — An HDMI 2.0 output and a DisplayPort 1.4 output let the same endpoint serve either a display or a monitor that only accepts DisplayPort.
• H.264 and H.265 Support — Both compression formats are supported, so the endpoint can join an existing Zio stream pool without re-encoding sources.
• Multicast Distribution — RTSP with unicast or multicast transport allows one encoder to reach many decoder endpoints while keeping switch load predictable.
• Browser-Based Control — The HTML5 control application runs on Windows, macOS, iOS, iPadOS and Android, which keeps commissioning independent of any single client platform.
• Compact Endpoint Chassis — At 1.83 x 5.61 x 6.27 inches and 1.75 lbs, the unit fits behind a display or inside furniture where a full rack shelf is not available.
• Gigabit Network Connection — A single RJ-45 10/100/1000BaseT port carries video, audio and control, reducing cabling at the display position to one run.

Typical Applications

• Control Room — Operators can add a decode position at any console without pulling a new video run back to the head-end.
• Command Center — Multicast delivery lets the same operational feed appear on several supervisor displays at once.
• Operations Center — The compact chassis suits shift-monitoring positions where equipment space behind the display is limited.
• Conference Room — A single endpoint brings a shared presentation or camera feed onto the room display over the existing network.
• Training Room — Instructor sources encoded elsewhere on the network can be decoded locally at each student display.
• Government Space — Browser-based control avoids installing vendor client software on managed workstations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which encoders work with the Zio D2112?
The D2112 decodes H.264 and H.265 RTSP streams from the Zio platform. Common pairings are the Zio S2112 for 2K capture, the Zio S2114 for 4K sources, and the multichannel Zio2 S5022 where several sources are encoded from one location.

What network does the decoder need?
RGB Spectrum specifies Ethernet TCP/IP 10/100/1000BaseT and a single RJ-45 gigabit input. Plan for a managed switch with multicast handling if one stream will be sent to multiple decoder endpoints.

Can the D2112 drive a 4K display from a 2K stream?
Yes. The published output resolution is up to 4096 x 2160 @ 60 Hz while the D2112 input is published at up to 1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz, so the unit can present a 2K stream on a 4K panel.

How is the endpoint mounted in a commercial install?
For equipment rooms, the Zio RAK 6RU rackmount shelf holds up to ten Zio S2000 or D2000 units. At a display or table position, use the 920 12645 wall and table mount.

How is the unit powered?
RGB Spectrum publishes 5 VDC, 20 W max for the D2100 series decoder. Confirm the supplied power accessory with Creation Networks before ordering if the endpoint will sit in a location without a local outlet.

How is the decoder configured and integrated?
Configuration uses a browser-based HTML5 application on Windows, macOS, iOS, iPadOS or Android. Larger estates are managed centrally, and the Zio M2000 management server coordinates device and stream assignment across a Zio deployment.

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.
