ZeeVee Z4KDECFSXR Zeevee encoder HDMI input Encoder

Product Overview

The ZeeVee ZyPer4K-XR HDMI 2.0 Fiber Decoder (Z4KDECFSXR) is a compact, fanless AV-over-IP decoder that receives uncompressed 4KP60 4:4:4 video over a 10Gbit 850nm multimode fiber network and outputs via HDMI 2.0. Designed for commercial AV deployments requiring fiber connectivity, it delivers zero-perceptible-latency 4K video distribution in environments where copper infrastructure is impractical. This rugged AV-over-IP fiber decoder is compatible with ZyPer4K and ZyPer4K-XS systems, providing a path to extend existing ZyPer4K infrastructure over fiber links.

Product Description

The Z4KDECFSXR uses an 850nm multimode fiber interface to receive uncompressed 4KP60 4:4:4 IP video and output it via HDMI 2.0 to any connected display or sink device. Multimode fiber connectivity is appropriate for intra-building runs where optical isolation, ground loop elimination, or EMI immunity are required. The fanless form factor ensures silent operation with no moving parts, suitable for noise-sensitive environments including control rooms, courtrooms, and executive boardrooms. HDCP 2.2 and AES-128 encryption provide content security for protected and sensitive material. Analog stereo audio is available via 3.5mm. USB extension is supported between ZyPer4K-XS and XR devices for KVM-over-IP configurations. Centralized management is provided through the ZyPer Management Platform. The unit is backed by a 3-year warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of fiber cable is required for the Z4KDECFSXR?

The decoder uses an 850nm multimode fiber interface. Standard OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber is appropriate for this wavelength.

Is the Z4KDECFSXR PoE-powered like the copper XR models?

No. Fiber models do not support PoE due to the optical interface. A separate power source is required for fiber XR endpoints.

Can this decoder work with ZyPer4K copper encoders?

Yes, provided both endpoints are on the same managed IP network. The XR fiber decoder is compatible with ZyPer4K and ZyPer4K-XS encoders.

What is the maximum fiber run distance?

Maximum distance depends on the fiber type and switch transceivers used. Consult ZeeVee deployment guides for validated distance specifications with 850nm multimode fiber.

Can multiple Z4KDECFSXR decoders receive the same encoder's stream simultaneously?

Yes. The ZyPer4K system supports multicast distribution, allowing multiple decoders to receive the same source simultaneously.
