Quick Start Guide
iMAGsystems LIGHTNING LZ1501E / LZ1502D series Encoders and Decoders provide the flexible, powerful,
and scalable solution at resolutions up to 4096x2160@60Hz, 3840x2160@60Hz (4:4:4) and 3840x2160@60Hz
(4:2:0 10-bit HDR).
They allow uncompressed UHD media to be switched and distributed over standard 10GbE Ethernet networks.
A local area network is covered with a range up to 300m over fibre optic cable, up to 100m over a single
Cat 6a cable or above. Standard features like, bi-directional serial, bi-directional IR, and independent analog
audio input/output are included. LZ1501E / LZ1502D allow USB extension to take place to control keyboards,
mouse, webcams, flash drives, speakers, microphones, and other USB devices. They are the perfect solution
for any zero-frame latency and signal routing applications.
Common applications include classrooms, conference rooms, performing arts, and broadcasts.
HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 compliant
Lossless distribution of most timing formats
Light compression when the raw data rate exceeds the 10Gb Ethernet bandwidth
Supports input and output resolutions up to 4096x2160@60Hz, 3840x2160@60Hz (4:4:4) and
3840x2160@60Hz (4:2:0 10-bit HDR)
Zero frame latency
Supports point to point transmission, distance up to 100m with a 4K signal
Supports point to multiple, multiple to multiple mode via 10GbE Ethernet Switch
Instant and seamless switch between Non-HDCP and same timing sources
Features video wall
Features multiview
With independent analog audio input and output at 2-channels, 24-bits@48KHz/channel
Supports Bi-directional IR
Supports Bi-directional RS232
With 1GbE auto sensing port, for PC control, upgrading and so on
USB 2.0 for control of keyboards, mouses and other USB devices
Bandwidth needed: 4K signal at about 6~8 Gbps, 1080P signal at about 1.485 Gbps
