About ZeeVee ZyPer (SDVoE)

ZeeVee ZyPer4K / ZyPerUHD60 are SDVoE-based encoders and decoders that distribute 4K60 4:4:4 over 10 GbE.

ZyPer is ZeeVee’s SDVoE product family, aimed at distribution and digital signage where near-lossless 4K60 quality and zero-frame latency matter. It runs on standard 10 GbE switches.

As an SDVoE implementation, the bitrate is the raw signal divided by ≈12:1. A 4K60 4:4:4 source is about 11.94 Gbps raw and roughly 995 Mbps compressed — one stream per 10 GbE port.

Worked example

A 4K60 4:4:4 signal is 11.9 Gbps raw; ZyPer’s SDVoE codec compresses it about 12:1, so the stream is about 995.3 Mbps on 10 GbE.

Frequently asked questions

What codec does ZyPer use?

SDVoE, the near-lossless 10 GbE standard backed by the SDVoE Alliance.

Does ZyPer run on 1 GbE?

No — SDVoE needs 10 GbE because a 4K60 stream is roughly 1 Gbps.

ZyPer vs ZyPerUHD60?

Both are SDVoE; ZyPerUHD60 is the 4K60 variant, while ZyPer4K covers 4K30.

What is the difference between raw and stream bitrate?

Raw is the uncompressed signal (width × height × frame rate × bits per pixel); stream is what the codec actually puts on the wire after compression. The compression ratio is raw ÷ stream.

What do 4:4:4, 4:2:2 and 4:2:0 mean?

They describe chroma subsampling — how much colour detail is kept relative to brightness. 4:4:4 keeps full colour (3× bit depth per pixel), 4:2:2 keeps two-thirds, and 4:2:0 keeps half (1.5×).
