It suits control room and command center deployments where the encoder, decoder and wall processor count has outgrown ad-hoc device-by-device administration. Centralising management of a Zio AV-over-IP system on a dedicated server keeps configuration, layouts and device state off the operational endpoints. It is specified during design of a mid-size Zio AV-over-IP deployment rather than added to a handful of endpoints.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRGB Spectrum describes the Zio M2000 as an optional dedicated management server for managing up to 150 Zio devices. In a commercial deployment that device population typically mixes encoder endpoints, decoder endpoints, multiviewer endpoints and wall processors across several rooms or buildings, and a single management host gives AV system designers one administrative point for all of them. Integrators specify a Zio management server when the operational risk of losing configuration state, or the labour of touching each endpoint individually, outweighs the cost of the appliance. Typical companions on the same network are encoder endpoints such as the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/rgb-spectrum-zio-s2114-encoder-endpoint-1-hdmi-input-to-4k-1-stream-output\"\u003eZio S2114 4K encoder endpoint\u003c\/a\u003e and the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/rgb-spectrum-zio2-s5024-encoder-endpoint-2-hdmi-inputs-to-4k-2-stream-outputs\"\u003eZio2 S5024 dual-channel 4K encoder\u003c\/a\u003e, decode endpoints such as the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/rgb-spectrum-zio-d2114-decoder-endpoint-1-ip-stream-to-4k-1-hdmi-output\"\u003eZio D2114 4K decoder endpoint\u003c\/a\u003e, and video wall processing on the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/rgb-spectrum-zio-w4008-wall-processor-chassis-1ru-two-slots\"\u003eZio W4008 1RU wall processor chassis\u003c\/a\u003e.

Because RGB Spectrum publishes no datasheet against this part number, rack depth, power draw, network interface count and operating-system details should be confirmed in writing before the rack elevation is finalised.
