Kramer Electronics Z4KENCC3 4K Hdmi 2.0 Catx Encoder

Product Description

The KRAMER ELECTRONICS Z4KENCC3 is a single-channel 4K HDMI 2.0 encoder designed for distribution of high-resolution AV signals over CATx cabling infrastructure. It encodes HDMI 2.0 source signals and transmits them across standard structured cabling, making it a core component in larger AV-over-IP matrix distribution systems. The unit is sold individually and is part of the Zyper4K platform, which targets enterprise, education, and professional AV installations. AV integration technicians and systems engineers are the primary installers. The encoder handles the source-side signal conversion, enabling scalable, long-distance video distribution without dedicated coaxial or fiber runs.

This encoder is suited for professional AV signal distribution environments where 4K HDMI 2.0 sources need to be extended or routed over existing CATx network infrastructure. Typical applications include large-format display systems, digital signage networks, conference rooms, auditoriums, and control rooms. It is part of the Zyper4K AV-over-IP ecosystem and is intended for use alongside compatible Zyper4K decoder units and network switching equipment. One encoder unit is included per package.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified AV integration technician familiar with AV-over-IP network architecture and HDMI signal routing. Power down all source equipment and displays before connecting or disconnecting the encoder. Ensure the CATx cabling meets the minimum specification required by the Zyper4K platform and that the supporting network switch is configured appropriately for AV-over-IP traffic. Follow all applicable local codes and manufacturer guidelines for low-voltage AV system installation.
