CONFIGURING ENCODE
This section gives step-by-step instructions on setting up the
Z3
Stream
encoder to encode video from an
HDMI or composite video source. In addition to the
Z3
Stream
, a TV or other monitor and a non-HDCP video
source with HDMI output or a video source with a composite output are required as well as the appropriate
cables. Your encoder should already be connected to your PC with the user interface open per Section 5.0,
GETTING STARTED WITH Z3

HDMI Encoder Setup
(1)
Select a video source with non-HDCP
7
HDMI output.
(2)
Verify your source works as expected:
a.
Power on the video source.
b.
Connect an HDMI cable from the source output to your TV or monitor.
c.
Change your source settings so that its output is at your desired resolution. In the following
example, we are using 1080p60 resolution.
d.
If you are using a video player, select the content you would like to stream.
e.
If you see playback on the monitor, you’ve confirmed the source works.
(3)
Connect the HDMI cable from the video source to
HDMI In
on the encoder.
(4)
In the user interface Encoder tab, verify the
Video Source
is set to
HDMI
.
Note:
Settings in the user interface cannot be changed if the unit is currently encoding. When the unit is
encoding the status light that corresponds to the source video should be blinking green. If it is blinking
red when encoding HDMI, verify that your cable is connected to
HDMI In
and not
HDMI Out
.

HDCP stands for High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection. Only non-HDCP HDMI video is supported. For example,
using a DVD player as a video source is not supported.
