RUNNING THE ENCODER
This section gives step-by-step instructions on taking the Z3-DM8107-SDI-RPS and using it to stream 1080p or
1080i video to VLC running on your PC. In addition to the Z3-DM8107-SDI-RPS, an SDI source (or HDMI source
with an HDMI->SDI converter) and a PC are required.
7.1
Set up the HD Source
(1)
Select a video source with SDI output
-Alternately, a video source with HDMI output and an HDMI->SDI converter can be used. In this
case, an HDMI source with non-HDCP output must be used (Z3 uses the Brite-View BV-5005HD for
HDMI testing).
-Power on the video Source
-Connect the source to a monitor
-Select content you would like to stream
If you see playback on the monitor, you’ve confirmed the source works. If you are using an HDMI
source, you should move the HDMI cable from the monitor to the HDMI->SDI converter.
