CONFIGURING ENCODE
This section gives step-by-step instructions on setting up the
Z3
Stream-SDI
encoder to encode video from
an SDI, HDMI or composite video source. In addition to the
Z3
Stream-SDI
, a TV or other monitor and a non-
HDCP video source with HDMI output or a video source with an SDI or 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

SDI Encoder Setup
(1)
Select a video source with SDI output.
(2)
Verify your source works as expected:
a.
Power on the video source.
b.
Connect an SDI 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.
Once you see playback on the monitor, you’ve confirmed the source works.

Connect the SDI cable from the video source to
SDI In
on the encoder.
