Expanding its line of AV-over-IP components, ZeeVee launched the ZyPerMX4, a four-channel encoder for distributing up to four HD sources over IP networks employing 1GB or faster switches. The new ZyPerMX4 encodes and distributes HD video content up to 1080p @ 60Hz and supports both multicast and unicast UDP and RTP encoding over a 1G network.

Integrators and end users can communicate directly with the encoder using the built-in web server that provides full access to configuration parameters, control and other features. Once connected to the network, the IP settings on the encoder can be configured automatically by a DHCP server or can be entered manually in static mode.

The ZyPerMX4 can also pass through up to eight channels of embedded audio in Linear PCM, MPEG-1 Audio Layer 2. Optional PoE capability eliminates the need for installing additional local electrical outlets to complete projects. The ZyPerMX4 is available now for $2,690 and here are the specs.
