RGB Spectrum Zio W4008-D – 1RU Wall Processor, Eight HDMI Inputs

Product Overview

The RGB Spectrum Zio W4008-D video wall processor is the high-baseband-count member of the W4008 series, supplied with two BB4K input cards and one A-series output card. RGB Spectrum publishes 8x HDMI 2.1 inputs at up to 4k60 and 4x mDP 2.1 outputs, which makes it the model for a control room video wall where most sources still arrive on copper. It composes those eight wired sources with IP video and web-based content in the same layout. The chassis operates standalone or as part of a Zio AV-over-IP system and is made in the U.S.A., fully TAA- and BAA-compliant.

Product Description

Within the series the -D is the local-input specialist. It doubles the published input count of the W4008-B, from 4x HDMI 2.1 to 8x HDMI 2.1, while keeping the same 4x mDP 2.1 outputs and the same published maximum output timing of up to 8k60, one per chassis. Unlike the W4008-C and W4008-E it keeps full 4k60 input timing and adds H.265 and VP9 decode rather than XtendPoint stream support, so specify the -D when the priority is native 4K60 sources at the rack rather than KVM-over-IP content on the wall. Published 2k30 decode capability is 30x H.264 streams, enough to hold a large camera or dashboard set behind the wired feeds. Because the eight inputs consume both card positions in the chassis, treat output count as fixed at four when drawing the wall layout.

Spares and expansion follow the card set: the Zio BB4K HDMI 2.1 input card for input, and the RGB Spectrum Zio AD-4D-5 or eight-output RGB Spectrum Zio AD-8D-6 where a second processor is built for output density. Projects that prefer to specify from parts can start with the two-slot Zio W4008 chassis. Operators drive the wall from the drag-and-drop GUI, recalling stored presets as a shift or an incident changes, which keeps a command center usable without a control-system programmer on call. Environmental and power figures match the rest of the series, so a rack elevation and power budget drawn for any W4008 covers the -D as well.

Key Features

• Eight HDMI 2.1 inputs — Two BB4K input cards accept eight local sources at up to 4k60, the highest published baseband input count in the W4008 series.
• Full 4K60 input timing — Published maximum input timing of up to 4k60 keeps native resolution from workstations and cameras intact on the wall.
• Four mDP 2.1 outputs — One A-series output card drives a 2x2 wall or four independent displays, with published output timing up to 8k60, one per chassis.
• H.265 and VP9 decode — Published streaming support for H.264, H.265 and VP9 means most existing encoders and VMS platforms feed the processor without a transcoder.
• Thirty stream decode capability — A published 2k30 decode capability of 30x H.264 streams supports dense IP content behind the eight wired sources.
• Switcher and wall processor in one — The chassis composes baseband, IP video and web content in a single layout, removing a separate matrix switcher from the design.
• 1RU rack-mount chassis — 1.7 x 17.2 x 16.9 in and 12 lbs suits shallow racks in operator rooms and equipment closets.
• Redundant power supplies — 800 W redundant power supplies on a 100-240 VAC input support dual-feed and UPS-backed racks.
• TAA and BAA compliant — Made in the U.S.A. and fully TAA- and BAA-compliant for public-sector and defense procurement.

Typical Applications

• Control room — A 1RU processor keeps rack depth and heat load low in operator rooms where space is already committed to consoles and KVM.
• Command center — Operators can recall preset layouts from the drag-and-drop GUI as an incident escalates, without a control-system programmer on site.
• Operations center — Network and utility operations teams can hold dozens of dashboards and camera feeds on the wall at once.
• Emergency operations center — Activation-day staff need a wall that comes up on a stored preset and accepts new sources over the network.
• Government space — Made in the U.S.A. with full TAA and BAA compliance, so the part clears federal and state procurement rules.
• Broadcast studio — Eight wired 4K60 feeds from cameras, playout and graphics can be laid out on the studio wall and re-arranged between shows.
• Training room — Instructor stations and student positions plug in directly, and the wall layout changes per exercise from stored presets.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many local sources can the W4008-D take?
RGB Spectrum publishes 8x HDMI 2.1 inputs at a maximum input timing of up to 4k60.

Why does the W4008-D have four outputs when the W4008-A has eight?
The -A commits both card positions to output cards and publishes 0 inputs. The -D uses its card capacity for eight HDMI 2.1 inputs, leaving 4x mDP 2.1 outputs. Choose according to whether the project needs local inputs or output density.

Does the W4008-D support XtendPoint?
No. RGB Spectrum lists XtendPoint stream support for the W4008-C and W4008-E. The -D publishes H.264, H.265 and VP9 streaming support with up to 4k60 input timing.

Can it drive an 8K display?
Yes. Published maximum output timing is up to 8k60, one per chassis.

What spares should be held for a 24/7 room?
The RGB Spectrum Zio BB4K input card and the RGB Spectrum Zio AD-4D-5 output card, plus a spare chassis where uptime requirements justify it.

What rack space and power are required?
1RU, 1.7 x 17.2 x 16.9 in, 12 lbs, 100-240 VAC 50/60 Hz, 800 W redundant power supplies.

What warranty and support apply?
The RGB Spectrum manufacturer warranty applies to this part number. Creation Networks supports specification and procurement, and can route warranty and technical escalations to RGB Spectrum; no warranty term is published in the RGB Spectrum documentation for this product.
