Using MPTS to Combine Multiple Streams
The Z3-MVE-150 includes an MPTS (Multiple Program Transport Stream) that combines multiple channels
into a single stream. This can be used by taking two inputs to the Z3-MVE-150 and simultaneously
streaming them into one ASI output and/or one IP stream containing two channels.
The MPTS option can only be accessed when the advanced settings mode has been enabled. (See Section
Advanced Settings Mode” for more information on accessing these settings.)
(1)
Verify the encoder is connected to an SDI and an HDMI video source.
(2)
Open the user interface (See Section 6.3).
(3)
The SDI connections also support ASI. Connect a BNC cable from “SDI Out” to your desired video
decoder or other device to receive the ASI stream.
(4)
In the “CH1” tab, select “HD-SDI” for the “Video Source” and change the “Output Format” to
“MPTS”.
(5)
If necessary, create the second channel by clicking on the + tab.
(6)
In the “CH2” tab, select “HDMI1” for the “Video Source” and change the “Output Format” to
“MPTS”.
(7)
In the “MPTS” tab, set the total MPTS transport rate. This should equal the total transport rate of all
channels being fed into the MPTS plus a 20% margin.
(8)
Set the destination(s). In the pictured example, the two destinations are ASI out and the UDP address
221.1.2.3, port 6000.
