ZeeVee Z4KDPENCC3 ZyPer4K Extended HDMI 2.0 & Display Port Copper Encoder

Product Overview

The ZeeVee Z4KDPENCC3 is a ZyPer4K SDVoE copper encoder that accepts both HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.3 inputs, enabling AV-over-IP distribution of 4K signals over a 10Gb copper network. Designed for commercial AV integrators deploying DisplayPort 4K AV-over-IP encoder solutions in enterprise environments, it delivers uncompressed 4KP60 4:4:4 video with zero-frame latency. The ZyPer4K SDVoE DisplayPort encoder operates natively on standard 10GbE switching infrastructure without requiring proprietary hardware.

Product Description

The Z4KDPENCC3 connects directly to sources with either HDMI 2.0 or DisplayPort 1.3 outputs — a critical capability in environments where workstations, media players, and AV equipment present a mix of connector types. It transmits uncompressed 4K video at up to 4KP60 with full 4:4:4 chroma sampling over Cat6a copper cabling up to 100 meters, using the standard 10GbE network infrastructure already present in most enterprise installations. The ZyPer Management Platform (ZMP) provides centralized routing control, video wall configuration (up to 15x15), and multiview layouts of up to 19 sources. HDCP 2.2 content protection and AES-128 network encryption ensure secure signal distribution in corporate and higher education deployments. RS-232 and IR pass-through support integration with control systems such as Crestron and AMX. The unit draws approximately 9 watts, making it practical for large-scale deployments where power budgeting is a consideration.

Key Features

• Dual-Input: HDMI 2.0 + DisplayPort 1.3 — Accepts either connector type, reducing the need for input adapters at the source.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Z4KDPENCC3 accept both HDMI and DisplayPort simultaneously?

No — the encoder selects one active input at a time. The dual-input design allows it to connect to either an HDMI 2.0 or DisplayPort 1.3 source without a separate adapter, but only one source is encoded and transmitted at a time.

What switching infrastructure is required for a ZyPer4K deployment?

A managed 10GbE switch with IGMP snooping and jumbo frame support is required. ZeeVee publishes a validated switch compatibility list; common choices include Cisco Catalyst 9000 series and Netgear M4300 series.

Is the ZyPer Management Platform (ZMP) required?

ZMP is required for routing configuration, video wall setup, and multiview. It runs on a dedicated server or VM and manages all encoders and decoders on the network.

Does this unit support USB extension?

The Z4KDPENCC3 does not include USB. For USB 2.0 extension over the same network, order the Z4KDPENCC3U model, which adds a single USB 2.0 port.

What is the maximum distance over Cat6a?

The Z4KDPENCC3 supports 10Gb transmission over Cat6a copper cabling up to 100 meters. For longer runs, ZeeVee offers fiber variants (Z4KDPENCF3/Z4KDPENCF3U) supporting multimode fiber up to 300 meters.

Is HDCP 2.2 supported end-to-end?

Yes. The ZyPer4K system supports HDCP 2.2 throughout the distribution path, provided all endpoints (encoders, decoders, and displays) are HDCP 2.2 compliant.
