ZeeVee Z4KDPENCF3 ZyPer4K Extended HDMI 2.0 & Display Port Fiber Encoder

Product Overview

The ZeeVee Z4KDPENCF3 is a ZyPer4K SDVoE fiber encoder that accepts HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.3 inputs and transmits uncompressed 4KP60 4:4:4 video over 10Gb multimode fiber up to 300 meters. As a SDVoE DisplayPort encoder with fiber transport, it is suited for large campus, stadium, and multi-building AV distributions where copper runs fall short. The unit integrates with the ZyPer Management Platform for centralized control of routing, video walls, and multiview across the entire SDVoE network.

Product Description

The Z4KDPENCF3 mirrors the Z4KDPENCC3 in feature set but uses a 10Gb SFP+ fiber interface instead of copper RJ45, extending maximum reach to 300 meters over multimode fiber. This makes it the preferred ZyPer4K Extended HDMI and DisplayPort encoder for deployments where sources and switching infrastructure are separated by distances exceeding Cat6a limits. It accepts either HDMI 2.0 or DisplayPort 1.3 input, making it compatible with a wide range of commercial AV and IT source equipment. The ZyPer Management Platform enables up to 15x15 video wall configurations and multiview layouts of up to 19 sources. HDCP 2.2 and AES-128 encryption maintain content protection and network security throughout the fiber distribution path. RS-232 and IR pass-through support integration with Crestron, AMX, and other control systems. At approximately 9W, the unit is power-efficient enough for high-density fiber-based AV-over-IP installations.

Key Features

• HDMI 2.0 + DisplayPort 1.3 Input — Dual-input design eliminates source-side adapters in mixed-connector environments.
• 10Gb Fiber (SFP+) — Supports multimode fiber runs up to 300m, extending reach beyond copper limitations.
• Uncompressed 4KP60 4:4:4 — Full-bandwidth, zero-latency 4K video transport over the SDVoE network.
• Video Wall: 15x15 — Supports large-format video wall arrays managed centrally via ZMP.
• Multiview: 19 Sources — Aggregate up to 19 sources onto a single display in flexible layouts.
• HDCP 2.2 + AES-128 — Full content protection and encrypted network transport.
• RS-232 & IR Pass-Through — Control system integration via 9-pin D-sub (115.2 kbps) and 3.5mm IR jacks.
• 1Gb Utility Port — Secondary network port for management traffic separation.
• ~9W Power Draw — Low power consumption suitable for high-density deployments.
• 3-Year Warranty — ZeeVee standard commercial warranty.

Typical Applications

• University and campus-wide 4K AV distribution over existing fiber infrastructure
• Stadium and arena control rooms with long fiber runs to source equipment
• Multi-building enterprise AV distribution where copper distances are insufficient
• Broadcast facilities with fiber backbone and mixed HDMI/DisplayPort source environments
• Government and secure facilities requiring encrypted, long-distance AV-over-IP

Frequently Asked Questions

What fiber type is required for the Z4KDPENCF3?

The Z4KDPENCF3 uses multimode fiber via an SFP+ interface. Supported SFP+ transceivers should be verified with ZeeVee's compatibility documentation for your specific fiber plant.

Why choose fiber over copper for ZyPer4K deployments?

Fiber extends the maximum encoder-to-switch or encoder-to-decoder distance from 100m (Cat6a) to 300m (multimode), making it necessary for large campus buildings, stadium infrastructure, or any installation where source equipment is separated from the switching core by more than 100 meters.

Can the Z4KDPENCF3 be mixed with copper ZyPer4K units on the same network?

Yes. Fiber and copper ZyPer4K endpoints are managed identically within ZMP and can coexist on the same SDVoE network, provided the core switching infrastructure supports both interface types.

Does this encoder include USB?

No. For USB 2.0 extension, select the Z4KDPENCF3U model, which is otherwise identical.

Is ZMP included with the encoder purchase?

ZMP software is licensed separately. Contact ZeeVee or your authorized reseller for current ZMP licensing and server requirements for your deployment scale.
