GETTING STARTED WITH THE MVE-150
This section gives step-by-step instructions on using the Z3-MVE-150 to stream 1080p or 1080i video to the
VLC media player running on your PC. In addition to the Z3-MVE-150, you will need a computer with VLC
media player downloaded, a 1080p60/1080i video source with SDI output, a BNC to BNC cable and at least
one Ethernet cable. Encoding with an HDMI source is described later in Section 6.10.
*Note:
Actual version numbers for your Z3 product may differ from those pictured in this document.
