ZeeVee Z4KHDMIENCF3 ZyPer4K HDMI 2.0 Fiber Encoder and HDMI Loop-Out

Product Overview

The ZeeVee Z4KHDMIENCF3 is a ZyPer4K SDVoE fiber encoder with HDMI 2.0 input and an integrated HDMI loop-out for local monitoring, transmitting uncompressed 4KP60 4:4:4 video over 10Gb multimode fiber up to 300 meters. As an HDMI loop-out encoder for video distribution over fiber, it enables simultaneous local confidence monitoring and long-distance network distribution from a single source-side device. The unit is managed via the ZyPer Management Platform for centralized routing, video wall, and multiview control across the SDVoE network.

Product Description

The Z4KHDMIENCF3 is the fiber variant of the Z4KHDMIENCC3, providing the same local HDMI loop-out for confidence monitoring while extending the network transport medium to 10Gb SFP+ multimode fiber for runs up to 300 meters. This suits broadcast facilities, stadiums, and large campus environments where the source encoding location is separated from the 10GbE switching core by more than the 100m copper limit. The loop-out allows a local display to receive the source signal without a separate HDMI splitter, while the SDVoE stream is distributed across the fiber network to any number of ZyPer4K decoders. ZMP manages routing, video wall configurations (up to 15x15), and multiview (up to 19 sources). HDCP 2.2 and AES-128 are standard. RS-232 and IR pass-through support control system integration at the source end. Power draw is approximately 9W.

Key Features

• HDMI 2.0 Input + HDMI Loop-Out — Local monitoring output passes source signal to a confidence monitor without an external splitter.
• 10Gb Multimode Fiber (SFP+) — Extends network reach up to 300m, beyond Cat6a copper limitations.
• Uncompressed 4KP60 4:4:4 — Full-bandwidth, zero-latency 4K encoding over fiber SDVoE network.
• Video Wall: 15x15 — Large video wall array support via ZMP.
• Multiview: 19 Sources — Flexible multi-source display layouts on a single screen.
• HDCP 2.2 + AES-128 — Content protection and encrypted transport.
• RS-232 & IR Pass-Through — Control system integration at the source location.
• 1Gb Utility Port — Secondary interface for management traffic separation.
• ~9W Power Draw — Efficient for high-density fiber-based source deployments.
• 3-Year Warranty — ZeeVee standard commercial coverage.

Typical Applications

• Broadcast facilities with long fiber runs from source to switching core and local monitoring requirements
• Stadium and arena production positions over fiber infrastructure with confidence monitors
• Campus-wide AV distribution with source locations beyond copper distance limits
• Houses of worship with fiber infrastructure and source-side confidence monitoring
• Corporate AV with long building runs and local preview monitor requirements

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of the HDMI loop-out on a fiber encoder?

The HDMI loop-out provides a local display output at the encoding source location, allowing a confidence or preview monitor without a separate HDMI splitter. The fiber network connection carries the encoded stream to the distribution infrastructure independently of the loop-out.

Can the Z4KHDMIENCF3 be used with a copper-connected ZMP server?

Yes. The ZMP server connects to the management network, which is separate from the fiber video transport network. The encoder's 1Gb utility port connects to the management network for ZMP communication.

Is USB available on this model?

No. For USB 2.0 extension, select the Z4KHDMIENCF3U, which adds a single USB 2.0 port.

What fiber type does this encoder support?

Multimode fiber via 10Gb SFP+. ZeeVee provides a validated list of compatible SFP+ transceivers for use with the ZyPer4K fiber platform.

What is the maximum fiber run distance?

300 meters over multimode fiber. For longer distances, additional switching or signal regeneration is required.
