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

In total there are 16 different, unique Encoder types that can be ordered.

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:

Ethernet Bulk Media Interface:

10G Fiber or 10G Copper

USB:

(none) or

2xUSB Type-A Interface

In total there are 4 different, unique Decoder types that can be ordered.

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.

Detailed Interface Descriptions

Encoder

The function of the encoder is to accept raw video images, encode, encrypt and format them for

transmission. There are several different variations based on the user’s desired input, media

type and interface description.

Enclosure variants

There are two different sizes of the ZyPer4K Encoder unit enclosure.

The USB option does not affect the enclosure size.

The type of bulk media (10G Fiber or 10G Copper) does not affect the enclosure size.

Common Ports

The following ports are common to all encoders,

regardless of the options or enclosure variant
