It is the highest-density member of the Zio S5000 series encoder line and is specified for control rooms, command centers and operations centers where many fixed sources are captured from one rack position. RGB Spectrum publishes S5042 input and output resolution as up to 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz. A local HDMI 2.0 monitor output and PoE++ compliance make the unit straightforward to commission in an equipment rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eConsolidating four encode channels into one 1.62 x 8.64 x 7.67 inch chassis reduces device count, switch ports and rack space against four single-channel encoder endpoints, which matters in a head-end that captures many operational sources continuously. Streams are published as H.264 or H.265 over RTSP with multicast transport, and the S5000 series streaming capability is published as multiple streams. 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 can arrive embedded in HDMI or on the analog input and is carried embedded in the outgoing IP video stream.
