2.0 QUICK START GUIDE
2. If You Have Received a System from Z3 with the Software Preloaded
o start working with the encoder, you can go straight to Section 6.0, “GE ING S AR ED WI H HE DME-
05,” on page 12. his section describes how to quickly generate a UDP, R P, R SP or R MP stream over IP
as well as how to generate an ASI stream. Information is also provided on how to change bitrate
dynamically, how to adjust the UDP S rate, tuning for latency, streaming in multiple resolutions,
recording to USB and utilizing various features including MP S, closed captioning and forward error
correction.
Details on configuring and running the DME-05 as a decoder can be found in Section 7.0, “RUNNING HE
DECODER”, on page 39.
2.2 If You Already have a System from Z3 and Need to Update the Firmware
You can update the firmware via the H P-based user interface by following the instructions in Section
8.4: “Making a Firmware Update”, on page 53.
*Note: Actual version numbers for your Z3 product may differ from those pictured in this document.

6.0 GETTING STARTED WITH THE DME-05
his section gives step-by-step instructions on using the DME-05 to stream 1080p or 1080i video to the VLC
media player running on your PC. In addition to the DME-05, you will need a computer with VLC media
player downloaded, a 1080p60/1080i video source with SDI output, a BNC to BNC cable and at least one
Ethernet cable. Encoding with an HDMI source is described later in Section 6.10.
*Note: Actual version numbers for your Z3 product may differ from those pictured in this document.
6. Set up the SDI Video Source
(1) Select an HD source with SDI output.
(a) Power on the HD source.
(b) Connect the HD source via SDI to a monitor.
(c) Set the HD Source to 1080p60 or 1080i output.
(d) If you are using a media player rather than a video camera, select and begin playback of the
content you would like to stream.
6.2 Connect and Power up the DME-05
(1) Connect the SDI source to “SDI In” on the unit.
(2) Connect an Ethernet cable from “Ethernet” on the back of the unit to a switch, router or other DHCP
server on the same network as your Windows PC. You will use this PC to control the DME-05 and to
decode the output stream.
(3) Connect the AC power supply and turn on the power switch. It will take 45-60 seconds to boot.

6.3 Find the Encoder Using ZFinder
ZFinder is a PC Utility that allows you to find any Z3 echnology product on your network. If you have
not downloaded this to your computer, you can find it on the USB drive provided with your system.
(1) Verify your PC is set to DHCP. If it is set to a static IP address, ZFinder will be unable to discover your
encoder, or it will appear in red and you will be unable to proceed further.
(2) Run the “ZFinder” PC Utility on your Windows PC. he ZFinder window appears. ZFinder then
completes a scan of the network and lists the location of all Z3 systems connected to the network.
In this case, the DME-05 appears.
(3) Click on the DME-05 entry in the window to select it. his will cause the “Edit Device”, “Open
Device” and “Flash LEDs” boxes to activate.
Figure 4: ZFinder with a Product Selected
*Note: Selecting “Edit Device” allows for manual changes to network settings. Selecting “Flash LED’s” is not
applicable to the DME-05 as there are no LEDs.
(4) Click on “Open Device.” An Internet browser window is opened (for best results, Firefox or Chrome
are recommended) and the H P-based graphical user interface (GUI) appears at the System Setup
tab.

6.4 Configure Encoder for UDP Streaming
(1) Click on the CH1 tab.
(2) Verify the “Video Source” is set to “HD-SDI” using the dropdown menu.
*Note: HD-SDI selection supports HD-SDI resolutions and 3G-SDI resolutions.
(3) Set the “Video Resolution” to “1920x1080” or “Follow Input”.
(4) Set “Output Format” to “UDP”.
(5) You can set the “Dest Address” to:
(a) the IP address of your PC that will be running the VLC media player (in the pictured
example, 192.168.0.6)
(b) or to a multicast address (An example multicast address would be “225.1.2.3”. If you are
on a shared network, check with your Network Administrator.)
(6) Make note of the value of “Dest Port” ( his will be “5004” by default).

(7) If the encoder hasn’t already autostarted, click on “start” in the “Channel Controls” section near the
bottom of the screen. If the encoder is already running, click on “stop” and then “start” to confirm
the specified values are in effect.
*Note: By default a limited selection of video encoding settings are available in the user interface. See Section
8.3, “Advanced Settings Mode”, for more information on accessing additional settings.

6.5 View a UDP Stream in VLC
(1) Run VLC media player on your PC (version used by Z3: 2.1.5)
(2) Select Media – Open Network Stream. In the box, type “udp://@192.168.0.6:5004”, where
“192.168.0.6” matches the values of the computer IP address or multicast address entered for
“Dest Address”, and 5004 is the value of “Dest Port” noted previously.
(3) Press “Enter.”
(4) You will now see video streaming to VLC.

6.6 Configure Encoder for RTP/RTSP Streaming
Once you have UDP streaming, it is relatively simple to change to R P or R SP streaming. All that is
needed is one parameter change. o stream using R P or R SP, complete the following steps:
(1) In the CH1 configuration tab, click on “stop” to stop the current encoding session.
(2) Change “Output Format” from “UDP” to “R P/R SP”.
When R P/R SP is selected, the encoder will send an R P stream using the Dest Address and Dest Port
listed in the user interface. If R SP will be used exclusively, the Dest Address field can be set to
“127.0.0.1” to prevent the R P stream from being sent.
*Note: As R SP operates through port 554, it is advised never to set the “Dest Port” field to “554” when
R P/R SP is selected.
(3) Click on “start” to start the R P/R SP encoding session.
*Note: By default a limited selection of video encoding settings are available in the user interface. See Section
8.3, “Advanced Settings Mode”, for more information on accessing additional settings.

6.7 View an RTSP Stream in VLC
(1) Run VLC on your PC (version used by Z3: 2.1.5)
(2) In the “Open Media” box, enter “rtsp://{IP Address}/z3-{ch #}{m}.mp4” for the network URL.
(a) {IP Address} will be the IP address of your encoder. If your encoder is set to DHCP ( his is the
default setting when you first receive your encoder.), you can find this in ZFinder or the web
browser with the 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 192.168.1.102 at start up.
(b) {ch #} corresponds to the number of the channel tab of the user interface. For example if the
CH1 tab is used, “1” is entered.
(c) {m} is added if a multicast address is being used. (For example, rtsp://{IP_Address}/z3-1m.mp4)
If you are using a unicast address, as we are in the example pictured, omit the letter m after “z3-
1” in the address.
(d) In this example, the full network URL would be “rtsp://192.168.1.102/z3-1.mp4”.
*Note: VLC version 2.1.5 or later is needed for R SP support.
(3) You will then see R SP video streaming on VLC.

6.8 Configure Encoder for RTMP Streaming
he DME-05 supports R MP streaming accepted by a variety of CDN’s (Content Delivery Networks) and
social media platforms for wide content distribution and live streaming.
*Note: VLC does not support R MP. he test player within Wowza Streaming Engine™ is recommended.
6.8. Stream RTMP to the Wowza Streaming Engine™
Z3 echnology is a member of the Wowza Media Systems™ echnology Alliance partner program, and
the Wowza Streaming Engine™ is used here as an example server for R MP streaming.
