If You Have Received a System from Z3 with the Software Preloaded
To start working with the encoder, you can go to Section 6.0, “GETTING STARTED AND RUNNING THE
ENCODER,” on page 12. This section describes how to quickly generate a UDP or RTP/RTSP stream to
VLC, how to change bitrate dynamically, how to adjust the UDP TS rate, how to tune for latency, and
how to extract Closed Caption data. Encoding HDMI and composite video is described as well as
recording to USB storage and using MPTS to combine multiple streams into a single IP stream.
To use the Z3-SME-01 to stream one source in three different ways and/or stream using RTMP, see
Section 7.0, “ STREAMING RTMP IN THREE DIFFERENT RESOLUTIONS,” on page 32. There are additional

Server for RTMP” on page 62.
To use the Z3-SME-01 as a decoder, you can go to Section 8.0, “ RUNNING THE DECODER,” on page 38.
