2 Quick Setup
Connect the ZvMXE to power and connect the ZvMXE to a display using
an HDMI cable. Use a standard Ethernet cable to connect to the Network
Router or Switch.
Prior to streaming video, you must first configure the Network settings on
the ZvMXE.
Using the remote control, hit the MENU button to access the Main options
screen. Using the arrow keys navigate to the setup icon (the GEARS) and
click there. See details below in the section “Configuring the Network”.
Tip:
The ZvMXE can make use of a USB HID device. Simply connect a
standard USB keyboard to one of the USB-Type A ports on the ZvMXE. The
on-screen keyboard can be used with the remote control, but it is slow and
cumbersome for anything more than a single box.
Note: It is critical to ensure that the ZvMXE is assigned an IP address either
statically or using DHCP before you will be able to stream video.
Once the Network is configured the ZvMXE will automatically detect and
add to the channel lineup any multicast video stream from ZyPerMX and
ZvPro devices on the same network. To add video streams from other
sources the Channel Guide must be updated manually. Please see the
“Channel Guide File Specification” chapter for details.
1 Introduction
The ZvMXE IP Set Top Box is a small, powerful, unit designed to receive IP
streams, decode, and present to the user the IP-delivered content as simply
as if they were watching broadcast television.
The ZvMXE is designed to work in tandem with ZeeVee ZyPerMX and ZvPro
iSeries streams. ZvMXE features include:
• ZvMXE auto-discovers the ZyPerMX and ZvPro iSeries streams, which
are added automatically to the channel lineup.
• Additional channels/streams can be added manually.
• Supports common compressed HD formats: H.264, MPEG- 2, MPEG-
4, and others.
• Supports many kinds of IPTV programs.
• Infrared remote control with programmable buttons allows direct
control of the television (unified remote control for controlling user
experience).
