GENERAL INFORMATION
Preface

The ZEUS
TM
Z3-MVE-20 Multi-Format Video Encoder is a 1RU rack-mount system capable of processing
two channels of multi-format HD video. The Z3-MVE-20 can encode two channels of H.264 High Profile
at up to 1080p at 30 frames per second. It can be configured as a single-channel or dual-channel
encoder, offering an advantage of low power consumption and lower cost per channel compared to a PC
system. The Z3-MVE-20 is a cost-effective system suitable for broadcast encoders, video security,
satellite uplink, remote monitoring and industrial applications. The Z3-MVE-20 provides immediate
access to multi-format HD video, integrated system peripherals and production-qualified codecs.
The Z3-MVE-20 features multiple I/O interfaces, including HD-SDI, HDMI, composite, component, ASI and
Ethernet. Multiple interfaces allow customers to quickly integrate full H.264 1080p30 performance into
their network without the power consumption and physical space required of a PC-based platform.
