RGB Spectrum Zio V2114 – 4K Multiviewer IP Decode Endpoint

Product Overview

The RGB Spectrum Zio V2114 is a 4K multiviewer endpoint that decodes and displays five IP streams as a single multi-window layout on one HDMI output. It is specified for control room and command center operator positions that need several live sources on one screen without a separate multiviewer chassis. Built on the Zio AV-over-IP platform, it receives H.264 and H.265 streams over standard Gigabit Ethernet, so an existing network becomes the signal transport. Window layouts are set from a browser-based HTML5 interface, which keeps commissioning and day-to-day operation inside the tools an AV integrator already uses.

Product Description

The Zio V2114 is a compact decode-and-composite appliance that sits behind a single display or monitor arm and turns it into a multi-source view. RGB Spectrum publishes the V2114 input stream capability as up to 4096 x 2160 at 60 Hz, and the output as one HDMI 2.0 connection plus one DisplayPort 1.4 connection at up to 4096 x 2160 at 60 Hz. Because decoding happens at the endpoint, adding an operator position is a matter of adding a unit and a network drop rather than re-cabling a head-end. That makes this 4K multiviewer endpoint straightforward to specify for phased control room build-outs, where display counts grow after the first commissioning. Audio follows the video as embedded HDMI or analog, so a single appliance covers the operator's monitoring needs. The unit is powered at 5 VDC and supports PoE+, which reduces the number of local outlets required at each desk. Stream sources come from Zio encoders elsewhere on the network, so a typical bill of materials pairs the V2114 with Zio S2114 4K encoder endpoints or Zio S2112 encoder endpoints at each source device. Larger deployments add the Zio M2000 management server to hold device configuration, stream directories and layout presets for the whole system. For desk-level installation, the 920 12645 wall and table mount secures the endpoint out of sight under a worksurface. Control room multiviewer integration is handled over Ethernet TCP/IP, and the browser-based control application runs on Windows, macOS, iOS, iPadOS and Android clients.

Key Features

• Five-stream multi-window decode — One endpoint decodes and displays five IP streams on a single screen, so an operator sees every relevant source without a video switch.
• 4K input and output capability — RGB Spectrum publishes V2114 supported streams and output resolution at up to 4096 x 2160 at 60 Hz, which keeps detail intact on large-format monitors.
• Dual display connectors — One HDMI 2.0 and one DisplayPort 1.4 output let the same unit feed either a commercial display or a DisplayPort desktop monitor.
• H.264 and H.265 support — Both compression formats are supported, so the endpoint works with existing Zio encoders and mixed-generation stream sources.
• Browser-based HTML5 control — Layout and routing changes are made from Windows, macOS, iOS, iPadOS or Android without installing client software.
• PoE+ power option — The unit accepts 5 VDC and PoE+, which removes the need for a local power outlet at every operator position.
• Compact endpoint form factor — At 1.75 lbs and under six inches wide, the unit mounts behind a monitor or under a desk instead of consuming rack space.

Typical Applications

• Control room — Each operator position gets five live IP sources on one display without adding a shared multiviewer chassis.
• Command center — Supervisors can monitor several feeds side by side and change layouts from a tablet during an incident.
• Operations center — Network, utility and transport operations desks consolidate dashboards and camera feeds onto a single monitor.
• Emergency operations center — Positions can be stood up quickly using a network drop, which suits rooms that are activated only when needed.
• Broadcast studio — Production and engineering positions use the endpoint as a confidence monitor for multiple encoded feeds.
• Boardroom — A single display can show several presenter sources at once for review meetings without a dedicated processor.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sources can the Zio V2114 display?
It decodes IP video streams delivered over the network in H.264 or H.265 using RTSP with unicast or multicast transport, which in a Zio system means streams published by Zio encoder endpoints.

Does the V2114 need a matching encoder for every source?
Yes. Each baseband source needs an encoder to place it on the network, and the Zio S2114 or Zio S2112 encoder endpoints are the usual match for HDMI sources.

How is the unit powered and mounted in a commercial installation?
RGB Spectrum publishes 5 VDC with PoE+ support, so a single PoE+ switch port can carry both power and stream data; the 920 12645 wall and table mount fixes the endpoint under a desk or to a wall.

What network does an AV-over-IP multiviewer endpoint require?
The published control and stream interface is Ethernet TCP/IP 10/100/1000BaseT, so a managed Gigabit switch with multicast handling configured for AV traffic is the normal starting point.

Can operators change window layouts themselves?
Layouts are managed from the browser-based HTML5 application on Windows, macOS, iOS, iPadOS and Android, so an operator or supervisor can rearrange windows without vendor involvement.

How does the V2114 differ from the Zio V2112?
RGB Spectrum publishes the Zio V2112 supported streams at up to 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz, while the V2114 is published at up to 4096 x 2160 at 60 Hz.

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.
