It is the 4K member of the Zio S5000 series encoder line, specified where control rooms, command centers and broadcast facilities need full-resolution capture from a source-dense position. A local HDMI 2.0 monitor output confirms what the unit is capturing. PoE++ compliance and a 12 VDC, 65 W rating give two options for powering the endpoint in a rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe S5024 encodes two 4K channels to H.264 or H.265 and publishes them over RTSP with multicast transport, which lets one enclosure feed several decode positions across a commercial network. Consolidating two 4K encode channels into a 1.62 x 8.64 x 7.67 inch chassis reduces both device count and switch port count against two single-channel encoders. Network connection is one RJ-45 gigabit port, with an SFP position published for future use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:12px;margin:16px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7982\/4364\/files\/rgb-spectrum-zio2-s5000-front.jpg?v=1788378015\" alt=\"RGB Spectrum Zio2 S5000 series multichannel AV-over-IP encoder front panel\" style=\"width:100%;max-width:320px;height:auto;border-radius:6px;\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7982\/4364\/files\/rgb-spectrum-zio2-s5000-back-panel.jpg?v=1788378014\" alt=\"RGB Spectrum Zio2 S5000 series encoder rear panel with HDMI inputs, RJ-45 and SFP\" style=\"width:100%;max-width:320px;height:auto;border-radius:6px;\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eAudio arrives embedded in HDMI or on the analog input and is carried embedded in the outgoing IP video stream, so program audio follows the picture without a parallel audio path.
