ZeeVee Z4KDECF3XS ZyPer4K-XS Uncompressed 4K Fiber Decoder

Product Overview

The ZeeVee Z4KDECF3XS ZyPer4K-XS is a 10Gbps fiber-connected AV-over-IP decoder designed for large-scale uncompressed 4K video distribution across enterprise and commercial AV environments. Operating on multimode fiber (850nm) at distances up to 300 meters, it delivers zero-frame latency 4K/60 4:4:4 uncompressed video over standard IP infrastructure — no proprietary matrix switch required. As part of the ZyPer4K-XS family, it is fully compatible with full-size ZyPer4K encoders and decoders, making it an ideal endpoint for mixed deployments. Primary use cases include video wall controllers, boardroom displays, command center screens, and digital signage endpoints requiring uncompressed SDVoE-based distribution.

Product Description

The Z4KDECF3XS decodes uncompressed 4K video received over multimode fiber from any ZyPer4K or ZyPer4K-XS encoder on the same managed 10Gbps IP network. It accepts HDMI 2.0 output connections and passes HDCP 2.2-protected content to downstream displays without additional decryption hardware. Audio support includes up to 8 channels of LPCM digital audio via HDMI, plus an unbalanced 2-channel analog stereo output via 3.5mm jack — useful for audio breakout in conference rooms or control rooms. USB 2.0 extension is supported between ZyPer4K-XS and ZyPer4K-XR devices, enabling peripheral sharing across the AV network for collaborative spaces. The decoder integrates into ZeeVee's ZyPer Management Platform (ZMP) for centralized routing, monitoring, and configuration. Video wall configurations up to 15x15 are supported, and multiview layouts of up to 19 simultaneous sources can be rendered on a single display. Security features include AES-128 encryption, 802.1X network authentication, and HDCP 2.2 compliance. At approximately 8W power draw, the XS form factor is suitable for space-constrained rack and wall installations.
