It is the resilient option for control room and command center estates where the management host itself has to survive a disk or power supply failure. Large Zio AV-over-IP deployments spanning several rooms or sites are the primary use case. Integrators specify it during system design, alongside the encode, decode and wall processing endpoints it will administer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRGB Spectrum describes the Zio M4600 as an optional dedicated management server for up to 250 Zio devices that includes RAID storage and dual redundant power supplies. The two resilience features are what separate it from the smaller management server: RAID protects the configuration and management data set against a single drive failure, and dual redundant power supplies allow the host to stay up through the loss of one feed or one supply. That matters in a command center where the management host is the single administrative point for the whole Zio estate. On the same network it administers 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, 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, multiviewer endpoints such as the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/rgb-spectrum-zio-v2114-multiviewer-endpoint-5-ip-streams-to-4k-1-hdmi-output\"\u003eZio V2114 multiviewer endpoint\u003c\/a\u003e, and wall processing on the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/rgb-spectrum-zio-w4008-wall-processor-chassis-1ru-two-slots\"\u003eZio W4008 wall processor chassis\u003c\/a\u003e with the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/rgb-spectrum-zio-plus-software-advanced-license-for-zio-4000-series-chassis\"\u003eZio Plus advanced software license\u003c\/a\u003e where the application calls for it. Recording and playback of Zio streams stay with the recorders, for example the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/rgb-spectrum-zio-r4660-recorder-1ru-raid-dual-redundant-psu-12tb-capacity\"\u003eZio R4660 12TB recorder\u003c\/a\u003e.

RGB Spectrum publishes no datasheet against this part number, so rack height, depth, drive capacity, RAID level, network interface count and power draw must be confirmed before procurement.
