Configure the Encoder

Go to the Encoder Z3-DM368-SDI-RPS. Change the settings to match those in the figure below. Here

a multicast address is used. You can also stream unicast to the Decoder by specifying the IP address
of the decoding Z3-DM368-SDI-RPS. Using multicast allows you to also open VLC and view the stream
from there:
