ZeeVee ZMXENC4-HLS ZyPerMX4-100 is a quad HDMI 1.4 Encoder w/UDP, RTP, RTMP or HLS IP Stream

Product Overview

The ZeeVee ZMXENC4-HLS is a quad-channel HDMI 1.4 IP encoder supporting UDP, RTP, RTMP, and HLS streaming protocols for commercial IPTV headend and live streaming distribution applications. As a multi-protocol video encoder for streaming, it encodes four independent HDMI sources simultaneously and streams each to IP network distribution, internet CDN targets, or local IPTV infrastructure. The ZMXENC4-HLS is managed via a web-based interface and integrates with ZeeVee's IPTV and digital signage distribution ecosystem.

Product Description

The ZMXENC4-HLS accepts four HDMI 1.4 inputs and encodes each as an independent IP video stream deliverable over UDP, RTP, RTMP, or HLS, enabling flexible distribution to local IPTV decoders, streaming platforms, or CDN targets from a single rack-mount appliance. HLS and RTMP support makes this encoder appropriate for live streaming applications including corporate town halls, houses of worship, sports facilities, and broadcast headends requiring internet distribution alongside local IPTV. The web-based management interface provides channel configuration, stream monitoring, and system status without requiring proprietary client software. Four simultaneous encoding channels reduce rack space requirements compared to deploying single-channel encoders. It integrates with ZeeVee's ZyPerMX ecosystem and is managed via ZMPCNTRL for IPTV routing when used with STBi3 decoders in local distribution scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the ZMXENC4-HLS stream to YouTube, Facebook, or other CDN platforms?

Yes. RTMP output supports streaming to RTMP-compatible CDN platforms and social media live streaming ingest points. HLS output can be consumed by web-based players and platforms supporting HTTP Live Streaming.

Can all four channels stream simultaneously to different destinations?

Yes. Each of the four HDMI channels encodes independently and can stream to different UDP, RTP, RTMP, or HLS destinations simultaneously.

Does the ZMXENC4-HLS accept 4K sources?

The ZMXENC4-HLS accepts HDMI 1.4 inputs, which support up to 1080p60 and limited 4K modes. For 4K source encoding, evaluate ZeeVee's ZyPer4K product line instead.

What is the local IPTV decoder for this encoder?

The STBI3 IP and QAM decoder is the recommended local IPTV display endpoint for ZyPerMX-based systems. The ZMPCNTRL routing controller manages stream-to-decoder assignments.

Is the web management interface accessible without a VPN or local server?

The web management interface is accessed from workstations on the same network as the encoder. For remote management, standard network access controls (VPN, firewall rules) would apply as with any network appliance.

Does this encoder support audio encoding?

Audio is encoded along with video from HDMI inputs. Consult ZeeVee documentation for audio codec specifications and channel count per stream.
