RGB Spectrum Zio D2114 – 4K AV-over-IP Decoder Endpoint

Product Overview

The RGB Spectrum Zio D2114 is a single-channel AV-over-IP decoder endpoint that takes one IP video stream at up to 4096 x 2160 @ 60 Hz and presents it on a local display. It is the 4K member of the Zio D2100 series decoder endpoint family, intended for control room consoles, video wall display positions and digital signage endpoints that need full-resolution detail. Input and output are both published at up to 4096 x 2160 @ 60 Hz, so mapping and detail are preserved end to end. One RJ-45 gigabit connection carries the stream, so the display position needs a network drop rather than a dedicated video run.

Product Description

The D2114 decodes H.264 and H.265 material carried over RTSP with multicast transport, which is what makes one-to-many distribution practical on a shared AV network. Because the decoder accepts 4K at 60 Hz, it suits mapping and imagery work where downscaling to 2K would cost operators readable detail. Output is available on HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4, with audio either embedded in HDMI or presented on the analog connection.

Commissioning runs through a browser-based HTML5 control application on Windows, macOS, iOS and Android, which keeps setup independent of a dedicated control PC. The endpoint measures 1.83 x 5.61 x 6.27 inches and weighs 1.75 lbs, so it can be concealed behind a panel or console surface. Where several endpoints land in the same equipment room, the Zio RAK 6RU rackmount shelf holds up to ten Zio S2000 or D2000 units, and the 920 12645 wall and table mount secures a single unit at a display or table position. On the encode side, the Zio S2114 encoder endpoint is the direct 4K counterpart, while the Zio S2112 encoder endpoint covers 2K sources on the same network. A D2114 will also decode streams published by the multichannel Zio2 S5000 series encoders, so a mixed estate of single-channel and multichannel encoders can feed the same decoder population. That flexibility is what keeps a 4K AV-over-IP decoder endpoint useful as a deployment expands beyond its first phase.

Key Features

• Native 4K Stream Decoding — RGB Spectrum publishes D2114 input support up to 4096 x 2160 @ 60 Hz, so high-detail mapping and imagery reach the display without downscaling.
• Matched Input and Output Resolution — Both input and output are published at up to 4096 x 2160 @ 60 Hz, which keeps pixel mapping intact from encoder to panel.
• HDMI and DisplayPort Outputs — An HDMI 2.0 output and a DisplayPort 1.4 output cover both commercial panels and desktop-class monitors from one endpoint.
• H.264 and H.265 Compression — Support for both codecs lets the decoder join an existing Zio stream pool without changing how sources are encoded.
• Multicast Stream Delivery — RTSP multicast transport allows a single encoder to reach many decode positions while keeping switch bandwidth predictable.
• Platform-Independent Control — The browser-based HTML5 application runs on Windows, macOS, iOS and Android, so commissioning does not depend on a specific client build.
• Compact 1.75 lb Chassis — The small enclosure fits behind a display or inside console furniture where rack space is not available.
• Single Gigabit Drop — Video, audio and control share one 10/100/1000BaseT RJ-45 connection, which simplifies cabling at each display position.

Typical Applications

• Control Room — Full 4K decoding keeps mapping, schematics and dense text readable at operator consoles.
• Command Center — Multicast delivery puts the same 4K operational feed on multiple supervisor displays at once.
• Operations Center — A compact endpoint per display lets the decode layer grow position by position.
• Broadcast Studio — The 4K input path suits monitoring positions where source detail must not be reduced.
• Auditorium — A single network drop feeds a large front-of-house display without a long dedicated video run.
• Government Space — Browser-based configuration avoids installing vendor client software on managed workstations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the D2114 and the D2112?
Input resolution. RGB Spectrum publishes the D2114 at up to 4096 x 2160 @ 60 Hz and the Zio D2112 at up to 1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz. Both publish the same output resolution of up to 4096 x 2160 @ 60 Hz.

Which encoders pair with the D2114?
The direct counterpart is the Zio S2114 encoder endpoint for 4K capture. The Zio S2112 covers 2K sources, and multichannel Zio2 S5024 encoders serve locations with several sources.

What network is required?
RGB Spectrum specifies Ethernet TCP/IP 10/100/1000BaseT with a single RJ-45 gigabit input. A managed switch with multicast handling is the normal choice when one stream serves several decoder endpoints.

How do I mount the decoder?
In an equipment room, the Zio RAK 6RU rackmount shelf accepts up to ten Zio S2000 or D2000 units. At a display or table position, use the 920 12645 wall and table mount.

What power does the endpoint need?
The published figure for the D2100 series decoder is 5 VDC, 20 W max. Confirm the power accessory shipped with the unit with Creation Networks before ordering for a location with no local outlet.

Can audio be extracted separately from video?
RGB Spectrum publishes output audio support as digital embedded in HDMI or analog, so a room DSP can take the analog feed while the panel takes embedded HDMI audio.

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.
