Run VLC to View RTSP Stream

 

Note:  

Verify your PC is set up to handle decode of H.265 content at HD resolutions.  See Section 9.1, “PC 

Configuration for HD HEVC/H.265 Decode”, for more information.

 

(1)

 

Open the VLC media player on your PC. 

(2)

 

Select the 

Media

 menu. 

(3)

 

Select Open Network Stream.   

(4)

 

Enter 

“rtsp:// IP_Address/z3

-

#.sdp” for the network URL.

 

a.

 

IP_Address

 will be the IP address of your ZCube-SC. If your camera is set to DHCP (This is the 

default setting when it is first received.), you can find this in ZFinder or the web browser 
with your user interface open.  If you have set your encoder to a static IP address, this should 
match the 

Local IP Address

 field in the System Setup tab. In the example pictured, the 

encoder was assigned 192.168.0.120 at start up. 

 

 

 

 

 

b.

 

z3-#

 corresponds to the number of the channel tab of the user interface. For example, if the 

CH1 tab is used, “z3

-

1” is entered.
