ZyPer4K
System Elements
Encoder Function
The function of the ZyPer4K Encoder Device (Encoder) is to accept audio and video data over a
variety of interface types, and translate that data to a format suitable for transmission over a
standard 10G Ethernet network.
Video data is segmented, encrypted, prepared for transmission, and sent by the Encoder unit.
No unit other than those so designated by the control entity shall be able to receive the video
stream sent by an Encoder.
The format of the IP data is fully in compliance with industry-standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet
networking practices. Any switch or device capable of passing 10G Ethernet traffic can be
employed to carry ZyPer4K A/V traffic.
Other ports on the Encoder devices are for the carriage of USB, IR, RS232 and audio data as
well as a 1Gbit/second utility port for general purpose connectivity of devices to the 10G bulk
data infrastructure.
Common Interfaces on all Encoders:
•Power Input (12VDC)
•RS232 Input/Output
•1Gbit/sec Utility Ethernet Port
•Analog Audio Input
•Infrared Input
•Infrared Output
•HDMI Input
Optional Interfaces on Encoder Units:
Ethernet Bulk Media Interface:
10G Fiber or 10G Copper
USB:
(none) or
USB Type-B Interface
Extended Media Input:
(none) or
HDSDI or
DisplayPort or

ZyPer4K
Decoder Function
The function of the ZyPer4K Decoder device (Decoder) is to accept 10G Ethernet traffic that
represents the information to be decoded and displayed. When the appropriate IP stream is
received the Decoder unit will first strip off the encryption that protects the payload on its transit
across the network. It then reformats the video and audio information for display and plays it
out its HDMI video output. Audio is also played out the appropriate port as included.
Other ports on the Decoder devices are for the carriage of USB, IR, RS232 and audio data as
well as a 1Gbit/second utility port for general purpose connectivity of devices to the 10G bulk
data infrastructure.
Common Interfaces on all Decoders:
•Power Input (12VDC)
•RS232 Input/Output
•1Gbit/sec Utility Ethernet Port
•Analog Audio Output
•Infrared Input
•Infrared Output
•HDMI Output
Optional Interfaces on Decoder Units:

ZyPer4K
Management Platform
Most installations will require a ZyPer Management
Platform (ZyPerMP). This device controls the
operation and manages the connectivity between
endpoints. The management platform is a
hardened controller node that must reside on the
same logical network as the ZyPer4K Encoders
and Decoders. It captivity runs a ZeeVee
application as its sole function. The application
presents an API to potential third party
management platforms as well as hosting its own
Maestro-Z management application.
In point-to-point applications every element is essential. There is only one Encoder and one
Decoder and they both must be operational for the system to operate at all. The ZyPer4K
Encoder and Decoder will detect this special case and self-configure appropriately.
Any installation beyond simple point-to-point link extension-like applications require a ZyPerMP.
The purpose of the Management Platform is to interface user operational requests into the
specific device-level control needed to effect connectivity changes, screen management,
interface management, and distribute software and control data to all the endpoints of the
overall system. The ZyPerMP is the entity that insures all the endpoints, are accounted for,
operating properly, and performing the correct operation at the correct time.
Further, the ZyPerMP is the element that guarantees security, manages access to the overall
system and prevents rogue listeners or observers from snooping or spoofing unwanted content.
Multiple ZyPerMP devices may be deployed in a redundant configuration to provide for fault
tolerant control of the greater ZyPer4K overall system.
Operation of the ZyPerMP, the Maestro-Z application, and the ZyPer-API are beyond the scope
of this manual and are documented separately in far greater detail in other User Guides.

•Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions for spacing and clearance to allow proper airflow.
•Do not install or place this product near any heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
•Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug. A grounding type
plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The third prong is provided
for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an
electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
•Power cord must be accessible to allow for the removal of the power from the unit.
•Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs,#
convenience receptacles, and the point where cords exit from the apparatus.
•Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms.
•Unplug this apparatus when unused for long periods of time.
•Only use attachments/accessories supplied or specified by the manufacturer.
•Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the
apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug
is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus,
the apparatus has been exposed to rain or excessive moisture, does not
operate normally, or has been dropped.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock do not operate this
apparatus in a position where it is exposed to dripping or splashing
liquids, rain, moisture, or excessively high humidity. Objects containing
liquid shall not be placed in proximity to the unit such that they present a
risk of spillage onto the apparatus.

ZyPer4K
Shock and Fire Hazard:
The unit’s metal case, power supply, and grounding terminals and lugs are essential in
containing radio energy as well as safeguarding the user from any risk of electrical shock. The
metal shell of the unit protects the internal circuitry from environmentally induced over stress
conditions and is an integral part of the compliant system.
WARNING: Do not open the box or in any way expose the internal
circuitry.
WARNING: There are no user-serviceable parts inside
the unit. Opening or damaging the ZyPer4K unit in any
way voids the warranty and immediately nullifies any
assertion of regulatory compliance made by ZeeVee.
Any required service shall be performed by trained and
qualified service personnel authorized by ZeeVee.
