RUNNING THE ENCODER
This section gives step-by-step instructions on HEVC/H.265 encoding with the Z3-FVXK/FSDI-13A-RPS and
streaming 2160p, 1080p or 1080i video to VLC media player running on your PC. In addition to the Z3-
FVXK/FSDI-13A-RPS, you will need the following:
▪
A 4K or HD video source with non-HDCP HDMI output.
▪
A PC with VLC media player.
▪
The SDP file(s) provided with your Z3 software release (see your customer support server account).
Please Note:
Actual version numbers for your Z3 product may differ from those pictured in this document.
13.1
Set up the Video Source
(1)
Select a 4K or HD source with non-HDCP
HDMI output (in Z3’s testing, the Brite
-View BV-5005HD is
used).
-Power on the 4K or HD Source.
-Connect HDMI to a monitor.
-Set the 4K or HD Source to 2160p, 1080p or 1080i output.
-If your source is a media player, select content you would like to stream.
If you see playback on the monitor, you’ve confirmed the source works.
13.2
Connect the Encoder
(2)
Connect the supplied 2.5 mm serial cable and null modem adapter to the serial console of the
application board and to your PC. (A USB to Serial converter may be needed. If so, the FTDI
UC232R-10 (Digikey part #768-1014-ND) is recommended.)
(3)
Take the HDMI cable connected to the monitor and now connect it to HDMI In on the board.
