 Lincoln, NE 68508-1369 USA 

 +1.402.323.0702 

 

(4)

 

Connect an Ethernet cable to the board and a switch or router on the same network as your PC or 

directly to your PC.  

13.2.1 Encoding HEVC Interlaced Streams 

The FVXK/FSDI-13A-RPS can encode interlaced streams with H.265 (HEVC) 

(1)

 

Check 

Advanced settings

 on the 

System Setup

 tab. 

 

(2)

 

On the Channel tab you want interlaced support on, select 

Separated

 from the 

Video 

Interlaced Mode

 drop down list. 

Currently ffplay is the only PC player capable of playing the H.265 interlaced stream properly. 

Using the following command:  

ffplay -vf tinterlace=merge rtsp://

<IP ADDRESS OF Z3 DEVICE>

/z3-1.mp4

 

Within the command the -vf tinterlace=merge option is what tells ffplay what to do with the 
interlaced fields. You may also use Z3 H.265 Decoder products to play back the H.265 interlaced 
streams. The interlaced stream will be detected automatically. 

13.3

 

 Set up the Terminal Window 

(1)

 

If you are running from a Windows PC, we recommend running TeraTerm for serial configuration and 

monitoring.  Select

 

“Setup –

 

Serial Port” and 

use the following settings: 

 

 

 

Port:     

Whichever serial port the port is connected to 

 

 

Baud Rate:    115200 

 

 

Data:   

8-bit 

 

 

Parity:  

None 

 

 

Stop:   

1-bit 

 

 

Flow Control:  None 

(2)

 

If you are running from Linux, type: 

 

 

# sudo minicom 

s

 

 

And then configure by doing the following:   

-

Select “Serial Port Setup”

 

 

 

-Ensure the right Serial Device is specified (typically 

“/dev/ttyUSB0”)

 

 

 

-

Set option E (“Bps/Par/Bits”) to 115200 8N1

 

 

 

-Press <return> 

 

 

-

Select “Exit”

 

 

13.4

 

 Power on the Board 

(1)

 

Connect the 12V 1A power supply. 

(2)

 

Turn on the power switch. If all is configured properly, you will see the board booting up within the 

terminal window. After 20-30 seconds, you will see the RPS Main Menu.
