RUNNING THE ENCODER
This section gives step-by-step instructions on HEVC/H.265 encoding with the Z3-HE1080-RPS and streaming
1080p or 1080i video to VLC media player running on your PC. In addition to the Z3-HE1080-RPS, you will
need the following:
A 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.
7.1
Set up the Video Source
Select an HD source with non-HDCP HDMI output (in Z3’s testing, the Brite-View BV-5005HD is used).
-Power on the HD Source.
-Connect HDMI to a monitor.
-Set the HD Source to 1080p or 1080i output.
-If your source is a media player, select content you would like to stream.
If you see playback on the monitor, you’ve confirmed the source works.
7.2
Connect the Encoder
Connect the supplied 2.5 mm serial cable and gender changer to the serial console of the application
board and to your PC. (A USB to Serial converter may be needed. If so, the FTDI UC232R-10
(Digikey part #768-1014-ND) is recommended.)
Take the HDMI cable connected to the monitor and now connect it to HDMI In on the board.
Connect an Ethernet cable to the board and a switch or router on the same network as your PC or
directly to your PC.
