ZeeVee Z4KENCFSXR 4K-XR HDMI 2.0 Rugged Uncompressed 4K Encoder

Product Overview

The ZeeVee ZyPer4K-XR HDMI 2.0 Fiber Encoder (Z4KENCFSXR) is a compact, fanless AV-over-IP encoder that accepts HDMI 2.0 input and transmits uncompressed 4KP60 4:4:4 video over a 10Gbit 850nm multimode fiber network. It is designed for commercial AV installations where copper infrastructure is impractical or where optical isolation and EMI immunity are required. As a fanless 4K AV-over-IP fiber encoder compatible with ZyPer4K and ZyPer4K-XS, it integrates cleanly into existing ZyPer ecosystems that incorporate fiber plant.

Product Description

The Z4KENCFSXR accepts HDMI 2.0 sources and encodes them to uncompressed 4KP60 4:4:4 IP video for distribution over 850nm multimode fiber at 10Gbit speeds. Multimode fiber connections provide electrical isolation between source and display endpoints, eliminating ground loop issues and providing immunity to electromagnetic interference — critical in industrial, broadcast, and government environments. The fanless, compact design ensures silent operation without moving parts. HDCP 2.2 and AES-128 encryption secure content against unauthorized access during transmission. Unbalanced analog stereo audio is available via 3.5mm. USB extension is supported between ZyPer4K-XS and XR devices for KVM deployments. The ZyPer Management Platform provides centralized routing and monitoring across large installations. A 3-year warranty is included.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fiber cable type is required?

The Z4KENCFSXR uses an 850nm multimode fiber interface. OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber is recommended for this wavelength at 10Gbit speeds.

Does this encoder support PoE?

No. Fiber XR models do not support PoE. A separate power source is required at the encoder location.

Is the Z4KENCFSXR compatible with ZyPer4K copper decoders?

Yes, provided both devices are on the same managed IP network. Fiber and copper XR/ZyPer4K endpoints can interoperate within the same system.

Can I mix fiber and copper XR endpoints in a single ZyPer4K system?

Yes. ZyPer4K systems support mixed fiber and copper endpoint deployments managed through a single ZyPer Management Platform instance.
