5.0 STREAMING CONTROL
This section gives step-by-step instructions on setting the ZCube-21 to output and stream video using each
of the output format options: UDP, RTP, RTSP and RTMP. In addition to the ZCube-21, a Windows PC with
the VLC media player

downloaded is required. Please see Section 8.0, Decode Options, for more
information on compatible decoders and PC configuration and requirements for H.265/HEVC decode at 4K
resolutions.
5.1 Stream UDP
5.1.1 UDP Camera Setup
Note: Settings in the user interface cannot be changed if the unit is currently encoding.
(1) If necessary, click on the Stop button in the Channel Controls section of the user interface CH1 tab
or the Stop All button in the lower right corner of the screen of any tab.
(2) Verify the Output Resolution is set to Follow Input to output a 4K stream. If a lower resolution
output is desired, select this in the dropdown menu and resizing will occur.
(3) Select the Video Codec you would like to use for your video encoding. In the pictured example
H265(HEVC) is selected.
(4) Under Output Setup, select UDP in the Output Format dropdown menu.
(5) Set Dest Address to:
a. the IP address of your PC that will be running the VLC media player. To determine the
correct IP address of your PC, see APPENDIX A: Finding the IP Address of Your Computer. In
the example pictured, 192.168.0.6 is used.
b. or 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 listed for Dest Port. This will be 8600 by default when your system is first
received.
Note: By default a limited selection of video encoding settings are available in the user interface. See Section
7.2, “Advanced Settings Mode”, for more information on accessing additional settings.
(7) Click on the Start button. After a moment, the encoder status will change to RUNNING and the
fields above will appear in dark grey. The status LED on the unit will blink green when streaming.

5.3.2 Run VLC to View RTSP Stream
Note: Verify your PC is set up to handle decode of H.265 content at 4K resolutions. See Section 8.1, “PC
Configuration for 4K 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-21. 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.
c. In this example, the full network URL would be “rtsp://192.168.0.120/z3-1.sdp”.

Figure 11 Force multicast RTP via RTSP
Note: some versions of VLC do not require the Force Multicast settings in VLC. In this example
“rtsp://192.168.0.120/z3-1m.mp4” would apply.
(5) When streaming RTSP via multicast the output address must end in .mp4 instead of .sdp. Also, {m}
is added if a multicast address is being used. (For example, rtsp://IP_Address/z3-1m.mp4).
a. If using a multi switch/router network, please note that a failure can be caused by the TTL
needing to be longer, resulting in the packets being discarded before reaching the

destination. This can be fixed by increasing the TTL by adding /NN after the multicast
address within our Web Interface. (NN is a two-digit number).
Ex: 239.0.12.33/10 equals a TTL of 10 hops the max value that can be defined as 255.
(6) Press Enter or click Play. You will see your camera’s video streaming to VLC.
Note: RTSP is only supported with VLC version 2.1.5 or later. When encoding via RTSP, any time the encoding
session is stopped and restarted, you will need to reopen VLC in order to view the stream.

5.4 Stream RTMP
When in H.264 mode, the ZCube-21 supports RTMP streaming accepted by a variety of CDN’s (Content
Delivery Networks) and social media platforms for wide content distribution and live streaming.
5.4.1 RTMP Camera Streaming to the Wowza Streaming Engine™
Z3 Technology is a member of the Wowza Media Systems™ Technology Alliance partner program, and the
Wowza Streaming Engine™ is used here as an example.
Note: Settings in the user interface cannot be changed if the unit is currently encoding.
(1) If necessary, click on the Stop button in the Channel Controls section of the user interface CH1 tab
or the Stop All button in the lower right corner of the screen of any tab.
(2) Verify the Output Resolution is set to Follow Input to output a 4K stream. If a lower resolution
output is desired, select this in the dropdown menu and resizing will occur.
(3) Set the Video Codec to H264(AVC) for RTMP streaming. Newer versions of the Wowza Streaming
Engine support HEVC to use HEVC check the Use H.265 for RTMP checkbox.
(4) Under Output Setup, select RTMP in the Output Format dropdown menu. In the case that an
encrypted stream is required select RTMPS. Encryption requires a certificate to be set up on the
