QUICK START GUIDE
2.1
If You Have Received a System from Z3 with the Software Preloaded
To start working with the encoder, you can go straight to Section 6.0, “RUNNING THE ENCODER,” on
page 12. This section describes how to quickly generate a UDP, RTP, RTSP or RTMP stream from an SDI
video source, how to change bitrate dynamically, how to adjust the UDP TS rate, how to tune for
latency, how to record to USB storage devices, and how to use MPTS to combine multiple video sources
into a single IP stream.
For encoding from HDMI or composite, a second channel needs to be created. This is described in detail
on page 33.
Details on streaming RTMP and also on using the “Encode 1 to 3 Ch” mode (which allows one source to
be encoded three different ways, as long as the total processing involved fits within the constraints of
the encoder’s performance) can be found in Section 7.0, “ STREAMING RTMP IN THREE DIFFERENT
RESOLUTIONS,” on page 42. There are additional notes on successfully configuring Wowza in “APPENDIX
A: Configuring the Wowza Server for RTMP,” on page 65.
2.2
If You Already Have a System from Z3 and Need to Update the Firmware
You can update the firmware via the HTTP-based user interface (GUI) by following the instructions in
Section 8.3 “Making a Firmware Update” on page 52.
Please Note:
Actual version numbers for your Z3 product may differ from those pictured in this document.
