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 11. This section describes how to quickly generate a UDP or RTP stream to VLC, how to change
bitrate dynamically, how to adjust the UDP TS rate, how to tune for latency, and how to use DHCP.
Encoding from SDI is described. For encoding from HDMI or composite, a special step of creating a CH2
to encode from is needed. This is described in detail on page 28.
Details on streaming RTMP and also on using the “Encode 1 to 3 Ch” mode (which allows one source to
be encoded 3 different ways, as long as the total processing involved fits within the constraints of Z3-
DME-03 performance) can be found in Section 7.0, “STREAMING RTMP IN THREE DIFFERENT
RESOLUTIONS,” on page 33. There are additional notes on successfully configuring Wowza in “APPENDIX
A: Configuring the Wowza Server for RTMP,” on page 52.
2.2
If You Already Have a System from Z3 and Need to Update the Firmware
You can update the firmware via the web GUI interface by following the instructions in Section 8.2
“Making a Firmware Update” on page 39.
