ZeeVee 4K-XR Rugged Uncompressed 4K HDMI 2.0 In Encoder - Z4KENCC3XR

Product Overview

The ZeeVee ZyPer4K-XR Rugged 4K Copper Encoder (Z4KENCC3XR) is a compact, fanless AV-over-IP encoder designed for demanding commercial AV installations where reliability and silent operation are required. Delivering uncompressed 4KP60 4:4:4 video over a single Cat6a cable, this PoE-powered encoder eliminates the need for a local power supply at the endpoint. As a fanless zero-latency 4K encoder, it is well-suited for government, military, and enterprise deployments where thermal noise and mechanical failure risk must be minimized. The Z4KENCC3XR is fully compatible with ZyPer4K and ZyPer4K-XS ecosystems, enabling flexible system expansion.

Product Description

The Z4KENCC3XR accepts HDMI 2.0 input and transmits uncompressed 4KP60 4:4:4 video over 10Gbit copper infrastructure using standard Cat6a cabling up to 100 meters. Power is delivered via PoE, allowing clean endpoint installations without local AC power. The fanless, compact form factor makes it ideal for rack-mounted or wall-mounted deployments in noise-sensitive environments such as control rooms, command centers, and government facilities. HDCP 2.2 content protection and AES-128 encryption ensure secure distribution of protected and sensitive content. Analog stereo audio via 3.5mm is supported alongside the HDMI signal. USB extension is supported between ZyPer4K-XS and XR devices, enabling KVM-style deployments. The encoder integrates with ZeeVee's ZyPer Management Platform for centralized routing and control across large installations. A 3-year warranty backs the unit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Z4KENCC3XR require a separate power supply at the encoder location?

No. The Z4KENCC3XR is PoE-powered, drawing power directly from the network switch over the Cat6a cable. A PoE-capable 10GBase-T switch port is required.

What switch infrastructure is required?

A 10GBase-T managed switch with PoE support and IGMP snooping enabled is required. ZeeVee recommends switches validated for ZyPer4K deployments for guaranteed interoperability.

Is the Z4KENCC3XR backward compatible with existing ZyPer4K systems?

Yes. The XR encoder is compatible with ZyPer4K and ZyPer4K-XS decoders and encoders within the same managed network.

What is the maximum cable run length?

Cat6a up to 100 meters (approximately 328 feet) per segment between the encoder and the network switch.

Does this encoder support KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) extension?

Yes. USB extension is supported when paired with ZyPer4K-XS or other XR devices, enabling KVM-over-IP workflows.

Is AES-128 encryption enabled by default?

AES-128 encryption is available and can be configured through the ZyPer Management Platform. Consult ZeeVee documentation for deployment-specific encryption configuration.
