This section gives step-by-step instructions on HEVC/H.265 encoding with the Q603 and streaming 2160p,
1080p or 1080i video to VLC media player running on your PC. In addition to the Q603, 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.
