ZyPerUHD
System Elements
Encoder Function
The function of the ZyPerUHD 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 1Gb Ethernet network.
Video data is segmented, compressed using JPEG2000, 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 1Gb Ethernet traffic can be
employed to carry ZyPerUHD A/V traffic.
Other ports on the Encoder devices are for the carriage of USB, IR, RS232 and audio data.
Common Interfaces on all Encoders:
•Power Input (12VDC)
•RS232 Input/Output (Phoenix connector
with supplied adapter)
•Analog Audio Input/Output (Phoenix
connectors with supplied adapters)
•Infrared Input/Output
•HDMI Input
•HDMI Output (loop-out)
•USB Type-B interface
•1Gb Ethernet port (RJ45 with PoE)
Decoder Function
The function of the ZyPerUHD Decoder device (Decoder) is to accept 1Gb Ethernet traffic that
represents the information to be decoded and displayed. When the appropriate IP stream is
received the Decoder unit will decompress it, reformat the video and audio information for
display and play 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

ZyPerUHD
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 ZyPerUHD Encoders
and Decoders. It 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.
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 ZyPerUHD 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 the ZyPer Management
Platform User Manual. Documentation can be downloaded from the ZeeVee website.

850 Mbps, which requires a gigabit Ethernet switch. (Date rates and compression depend on
the resolution, color space and refresh rate of the input video stream.)
Switches must support the following features:
•Multicast forwarding or filtering
•IGMP Snooping
•IGMP Querier
•IGMP snooping fast leave
•Jumbo frame(8000 bytes or larger)

ZyPerUHD
Setting up ZyPerUHD
A many to many, or switched environment involves connecting many sources to many displays.
ZyPerUHD allows you a flexible and scalable amount of input-output options without limitations.#
For example, in a 24-port configuration, you can configure a 1x23, 6x18, or 4x20 (and so on)
system. A network switch is needed in these many to many configurations. These environments
also require configuration through the ZyPerUHD management software.
To set up ZyPerUHD in a many to many environment, you have to:
•Install ZyPerUHD management software
•Connect all Encoders and Decoders to the 1Gb network switch
•Switch (or route) video from sources to displays
Please consult the ZyPer Management Platform User Manual for additional details on
switching/routing video from sources to displays.
