RGB Spectrum ZIO FWK-1001 – Bonded Wireless IPX Fly Away Kit

Product Overview

The RGB Spectrum ZIO FWK-1001 is a transit-cased IPX Fly Away Kit for mobile command, supplied with SuperView IPX multiviewing and bonded, dual-SIM card wireless backhaul. It gives a deployed team a daylight-readable operator display, three HDMI 2.0 inputs and its own wireless and wired networking in a 39 lb case that one person can move. RGB Spectrum publishes video signal aggregation for up to eight video signals simultaneously, gateway services between private wireless networks and network uplinks, and plug and play integration of external PCs, systems, displays and sensors over HDMI and Ethernet. It is specified for incident deployments, exercises and temporary command posts where no fixed AV infrastructure exists.

Product Description

The FWK-1001 packages the elements of a small command post into one case: an 18.5-inch high bright 1920x1080 display rated at 1800 cd/m2, three HDMI 2.0 inputs accepting up to 3840x2160p60, two HDMI 2.0 outputs at up to 1920x1080p60, H.264 and H.265 compression, and an embedded Windows 10 Enterprise IoT LTSC 2021 PC on an Intel Alder Lake CPU with 16GB of DDR4 and a 256GB M.2 NVMe drive. Networking covers two 1GbE wired LAN ports, Wi-Fi 6 wireless LAN, one 1GbE wired WAN and bonded, dual-SIM card wireless backhaul, which is the field difference between the two Fly Away Kit part numbers. RGB Spectrum publishes content distribution and management across 4G/5G/LTE, RAN, SAT, IoT devices and sensors, so the kit acts as the gateway between local sources and whatever backhaul is available at the site. The multiviewing engine is the SuperView IPX multiviewer, which RGB Spectrum specifies for up to eight windows from four HDMI 2.0 inputs plus IP, matching the published claim of aggregating up to eight video signals simultaneously; where four windows are enough in a fixed rack, the QuadView IPX multiviewer covers the same input mix. The alternative WAN configuration is the ZIO FWK-1002. For a larger deployed footprint with more inputs and outputs, the ZIO TCC-1001 Transportable Command Center and the ZIO TCC-1002 Transportable Command Center build the same idea around a 5RU chassis with a Zio W4008 wall processor. Local HDMI sources such as laptops and cameras can also be published to the wider Zio network through an encoder endpoint like the Zio S2114 when the kit is operating alongside a fixed system.

Key Features

• SuperView IPX multiviewing — The kit ships with SuperView IPX, so up to eight video signals can be multiviewed and combined on the operator display.
• Bonded wireless WAN backhaul — Bonded, dual-SIM card wireless backhaul is what separates this part number from the other Fly Away Kit.
• Daylight-readable 18.5-inch display — The high bright 1920x1080 panel at 1800 cd/m2 stays readable in outdoor and vehicle-side deployments.
• Three 4K-capable HDMI inputs — Three HDMI 2.0 inputs accept sources up to 3840x2160p60, covering cameras, laptops and third-party systems on arrival.
• Two HDMI outputs for local displays — Two HDMI 2.0 outputs at up to 1920x1080p60 drive additional monitors at a temporary command post.
• Embedded Windows PC — A Windows 10 Enterprise IoT LTSC 2021 PC with Intel Alder Lake CPU, 16GB DDR4 and a 256GB NVMe drive runs mission applications in the case.
• Wired and wireless networking on board — Two 1GbE LAN ports, Wi-Fi 6 and a 1GbE wired WAN mean the kit brings its own network rather than depending on the site.
• Gateway services — RGB Spectrum publishes gateway services between private wireless networks and bonded public or private network uplinks.
• One-person transportable — At 39 lbs and 9 x 22.75 x 14.75 inches, the case moves as accompanied baggage or in a vehicle without special handling.
• Plug and play integration — External PCs, systems, displays and sensors connect over HDMI and Ethernet, so third-party equipment is accommodated on site.

Typical Applications

• Command center — The kit stands up a working command position at a location with no fixed AV or network infrastructure.
• Emergency operations center — It provides a deployable extension of the EOC, aggregating field video and backhauling it over available networks.
• Control room — It serves as a portable control position for temporary sites, exercises and planned events.
• Government space — Agency teams deploy a self-contained multiviewing and gateway system to field locations and temporary facilities.
• Operations center — Incident staff aggregate camera, laptop and sensor feeds into one display while coordinating with the permanent facility.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the two Fly Away Kit part numbers?
RGB Spectrum differentiates them on Wireless WAN only. This part number is published with bonded, dual-SIM card wireless backhaul; the ZIO FWK-1002 carries the other configuration. All other published specifications are the same.

How many sources can it multiview at once?
RGB Spectrum publishes video signal aggregation of up to eight video signals simultaneously, using the SuperView IPX supplied with the kit.

What can be connected on site?
Three HDMI 2.0 inputs up to 3840x2160p60, two HDMI 2.0 outputs up to 1920x1080p60, two 1GbE LAN ports, one 1GbE wired WAN and Wi-Fi 6. RGB Spectrum publishes plug and play integration of external PCs, systems, displays and sensors over HDMI and Ethernet.

What are the power requirements?
RGB Spectrum publishes no power or environmental specifications for this SKU. Ask Creation Networks for written confirmation of input voltage, consumption and operating temperature before you plan generator or vehicle power.

Will the display be readable outdoors?
The published display is an 18.5-inch high bright 1920x1080 panel at 1800 cd/m2, which RGB Spectrum also describes as daylight-readable on the product page.

Can it work with our fixed Zio system?
Yes. It uses the same H.264 and H.265 compression as the Zio platform, and local sources can be published to a fixed system through an encoder endpoint such as the Zio S2114.

How does it compare with the Transportable Command Center?
The ZIO TCC-1001 and ZIO TCC-1002 are 5RU systems with seven HDMI inputs, three HDMI outputs and a Zio W4008 wall processor, at 120 to 130 lbs; the Fly Away Kit is a 39 lb single-case system.

What warranty and support apply?
The RGB Spectrum manufacturer warranty applies to this part number, and Creation Networks supports specification and procurement, including written confirmation of the current warranty terms before you place the order.
