RGB Spectrum Zio MWX – MediaWall X Distributed Wall Processor Module

Product Overview

The RGB Spectrum Zio MWX is the MediaWall X distributed video wall processor module, a decoder and display endpoint with four HDMI outputs. It is specified where a video wall is built from networked endpoints rather than a single central chassis, which lets one system scale from a 2x2 array to a large operations wall. RGB Spectrum publishes MediaWall X support for video walls of up to 64 4K60 displays or 256 2K60 displays using this serverless architecture. Content sources can be H.264, H.265, HTML5 or HDMI, so live video and web dashboards share the same wall.

Product Description

The Zio MWX module is the output half of a distributed video wall processor: each module drives up to four displays and pulls the streams it needs directly from the network. RGB Spectrum publishes four HDMI outputs per decoder and display endpoint at up to 4096 x 2160 at 60 Hz, with decoding capability up to 8K resolution. Because the architecture is serverless, there is no central processor to size at the start of a project, and a wall is expanded by adding modules and network capacity. The published per-appliance stream figures reach 1x 8K60, 6x 4K60, 12x 4K30, 18x 1080p60, 34x 1080p30 or 72x 720p30, which gives a clear planning basis for dense operational layouts. The module is a 1U half-rack appliance measuring 19cm x 14.8cm x 3cm and is both rackmount compatible and VESA mountable, so it can live in a head-end rack or behind a display. Network handling covers 10/100/1000/2.5G Ethernet with IPv4 and IPv6, DHCP or static addressing, and RTSP or SRT streaming, which fits enterprise and government network standards. RGB Spectrum publishes hardware-based encryption with a hardened Linux OS and full TAA compliance for the product line. Source encoding is provided by Zio S2114 4K encoder endpoints for single sources and Zio2 S5024 or Zio2 S5042 multichannel encoders where a rack holds several devices. For a first deployment, the Zio MWX Kit MediaWall X starter kit bundles this module with five Zio S2114 encoders as a single order.

Key Features

• Four HDMI outputs per module — One module drives up to four displays at up to 4096 x 2160 at 60 Hz, so a 2x2 array needs only a single appliance.
• Serverless distributed architecture — RGB Spectrum publishes a scalable, serverless design, which removes the central processor as a single point of sizing and failure.
• Wall scale to 64 4K60 displays — Published support covers video walls of up to 64 4K60 displays or 256 2K60 displays, so one design method serves small and large walls.
• Decoding up to 8K — RGB Spectrum publishes decoding capability up to 8K resolution, with per-appliance figures of 1x 8K60 or 6x 4K60 streams.
• Mixed content support — H.264, H.265, HTML5 and HDMI sources are supported, so live video and web dashboards appear on the same wall.
• 2.5GbE network interface — The published 1GbE / 2.5GbE RJ45 interface with auto-detect gives headroom for dense 4K stream counts on the wall segment.
• Flexible mounting — The 1U half-rack appliance is rackmount compatible and VESA mountable, which suits both head-end racks and display-mounted installs.
• TAA compliant hardware — RGB Spectrum publishes TAA compliance and hardware-based encryption with a hardened Linux OS for government and regulated deployments.

Typical Applications

• Control room — Modules can be added per wall segment, so an operations wall grows without replacing the processor.
• Command center — Four 4K60 outputs per module support large briefing walls that mix live video with HTML5 dashboards.
• Operations center — Distributed decoding keeps each wall section independent, which limits the impact of a single failure.
• Emergency operations center — A serverless wall can be deployed or relocated quickly using only network drops and modules.
• Government space — Published TAA compliance and hardware encryption suit agency and defense procurement requirements.
• Broadcast studio — Studio and gallery walls carry multiple encoded feeds and web-based production data on one surface.
• Auditorium — Large-format display arrays in briefing auditoriums are driven from the same IP stream pool as the operations floor.

Technical Specifications

RGB Spectrum publishes these values for the MediaWall X product line, the distributed video wall processor decoder and display endpoint supplied under this part number; RGB Spectrum prints them under the MediaWall X product name rather than against the Zio MWX part number.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many displays does one Zio MWX module drive?
RGB Spectrum publishes four HDMI outputs per decoder and display endpoint at up to 4096 x 2160 at 60 Hz, so one module covers a 2x2 array or a 1x4 row.

How large can a MediaWall X video wall be?
Published support covers video walls with up to 64 4K60 displays or 256 2K60 displays, built by adding decoder and display endpoints rather than expanding a central chassis.

Which encoders pair with this module?
RGB Spectrum names Zio 5000 and 2100 Series encoders for MediaWall X, so Zio S2114, Zio2 S5024 and Zio2 S5042 endpoints are the standard source-side pairing.

What streaming protocols and transports are supported?
The published streaming protocols are RTSP and SRT, with unicast and multicast transport, IPv4 and IPv6 support, and DHCP or static addressing.

How is the module mounted and powered?
It is a 1U half-rack appliance of 19cm x 14.8cm x 3cm, rackmount compatible and VESA mountable, drawing 45W typical from a 19V, 90W locking power supply.

Is the product suitable for government procurement?
RGB Spectrum publishes TAA compliance for MediaWall X, along with FCC, CE, RCM, ICES-003, KC and UKCA regulatory marks and hardware-based encryption on a hardened Linux OS.

Is there a bundled way to start a deployment?
Yes. The Zio MWX Kit supplies this module together with five Zio S2114 encoders as one part number.

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.
