ZeeVee Z4KHDMIENCC3U ZyPer4K HDMI 2.0 Copper Encoder and HDMI Loop-Out with USB

Product Overview

The ZeeVee Z4KHDMIENCC3U is a ZyPer4K SDVoE copper encoder with HDMI 2.0 input, HDMI loop-out for local monitoring, and USB 2.0 extension over 10GbE copper. As an HDMI loop-out encoder for video distribution with integrated KVM capability, it serves commercial AV installations where the source location requires simultaneous local display, networked 4K distribution, and USB peripheral extension. The unit integrates with the ZyPer Management Platform for full SDVoE routing, video wall, and multiview management.

Product Description

The Z4KHDMIENCC3U combines three capabilities in a single ZyPer4K encoder: HDMI 2.0 encoding for SDVoE network distribution, an HDMI loop-out for a local confidence or preview monitor, and USB 2.0 extension for keyboard/mouse and peripheral sharing across the network. This makes it particularly well-suited for broadcast production, control rooms, and corporate AV environments where operators need local video monitoring, network distribution, and peripheral connectivity from a single source-side unit. The encoder connects to the 10GbE network via Cat6a copper up to 100 meters and is managed via ZMP for routing, video wall (15x15), and multiview (19 sources). HDCP 2.2 and AES-128 are standard throughout the distribution path. RS-232 and IR pass-through ensure control system compatibility. Power consumption is approximately 9W per unit.

Key Features

• HDMI 2.0 Input + HDMI Loop-Out — Local monitoring output allows a confidence monitor at the source without an external splitter.
• USB 2.0 Extension — Extends keyboard, mouse, and USB peripherals from the source location across the SDVoE network.
• Uncompressed 4KP60 4:4:4 — Full-bandwidth, zero-latency 4K encoding over 10GbE copper.
• Cat6a Copper to 100m — Standard enterprise cabling, no proprietary infrastructure required.
• Video Wall: 15x15 — Large-format video wall support managed via ZMP.
• Multiview: 19 Sources — Flexible multi-source display layout configurations.
• HDCP 2.2 + AES-128 — Content protection and encrypted network transport.
• RS-232 & IR Pass-Through — Third-party control system integration at the source end.
• ~9W Power Consumption — Low draw suitable for large-scale source-side deployments.
• 3-Year Warranty — ZeeVee standard commercial coverage.

Typical Applications

• Broadcast and production source locations requiring local monitoring and network distribution
• Control rooms with local confidence monitors and shared USB peripheral infrastructure
• Corporate AV systems with presenter preview monitors and KVM-over-IP requirements
• Houses of worship with simultaneous confidence monitor and network video distribution
• Higher education with local display monitoring at lecture capture source points

Frequently Asked Questions

What differentiates the Z4KHDMIENCC3U from the Z4KHDMIENCC3?

The Z4KHDMIENCC3U adds a single USB 2.0 port for peripheral extension over the SDVoE network. The HDMI loop-out, video encoding, and all other specifications are identical to the non-USB Z4KHDMIENCC3.

Does the HDMI loop-out pass the signal at full 4K resolution?

Yes. The HDMI loop-out passes the source signal at its native resolution to the local monitor while the encoder simultaneously encodes and transmits it to the SDVoE network.

Can USB peripherals at the encoder be used from decoder-side workstations?

The USB port on this encoder is for source-side peripheral extension. For KVM where peripherals at the display (decoder) side control the source workstation, use the USB-equipped decoder models.

Is a fiber version available?

Yes. The Z4KHDMIENCF3U provides the same capabilities over multimode fiber up to 300m.

What switching infrastructure is required?

A managed 10GbE switch with IGMP snooping and jumbo frame support. ZeeVee publishes a validated compatibility list of supported switches for ZyPer4K deployments.
