ZeeVee Z4KHDMIENCC3 ZyPer4K HDMI 2.0 Copper Encoder and HDMI Loop-Out

Product Overview

The ZeeVee Z4KHDMIENCC3 is a ZyPer4K SDVoE copper encoder with dual HDMI 2.0 input and a single HDMI loop-out for local monitoring, distributing uncompressed 4KP60 4:4:4 video over a 10GbE copper network. Designed for commercial AV-over-IP installations where source signals must simultaneously feed a local display and the distribution network, this HDMI loop-out encoder eliminates the need for a separate signal splitter at the source location. The unit integrates with the ZyPer Management Platform for centralized routing, video wall, and multiview management.

Product Description

The Z4KHDMIENCC3 provides a local HDMI loop-out output that passes the HDMI source signal to a monitor or display at the encoding location while simultaneously transmitting the stream across the ZyPer4K SDVoE network. This is essential in broadcast, production, and control room environments where operators need a local confidence monitor without inserting a separate distribution amplifier or HDMI splitter into the signal path. The encoder connects to the network via 10Gb RJ45 or SFP+ copper over Cat6a up to 100 meters. ZMP manages routing assignments, video wall configurations (up to 15x15), and multiview layouts (up to 19 sources). HDCP 2.2 and AES-128 encryption maintain content and network security. RS-232 (9-pin D-sub, 115.2 kbps) and IR (3.5mm) pass-through support control system integration. Power consumption is approximately 9W.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the HDMI loop-out affect the encoded network stream quality?

No. The HDMI loop-out passes the source signal to a local display without processing or degrading the signal being encoded for network distribution. Both the loop-out and the network stream operate independently.

Is the loop-out active at all times?

The HDMI loop-out is a passive output of the source signal. Consult ZeeVee firmware documentation for any loop-out behavior variations in specific ZMP configurations.

Does this encoder support USB?

No. For USB 2.0 extension alongside the HDMI loop-out, select the Z4KHDMIENCC3U model.

What is the maximum network cable distance?

100 meters over Cat6a copper. For longer distances, the fiber variants Z4KHDMIENCF3 or Z4KHDMIENCF3U support multimode fiber up to 300m.

Is ZMP required for basic routing with this encoder?

Yes. ZMP is required for all routing, video wall, and multiview configuration within the ZyPer4K SDVoE system. It runs on a dedicated server or VM.
