Configuring a Streaming Input Source

Configuration method

Select a row on the [Input] tab of the [System Settings] screen and configure each item in the [Input Settings] pane. When finished configuring items, press the [Apply] button to apply the settings.

Set [Streaming Type] to the appropriate setting for the input source device. The setup items and the available selection options will vary depending on the [Streaming Type] setting.

When using [PXW-Z280/Z190]

Note

  • If the setting is changed when both a camera is not connected and the event status is “Running” when using [PXW-Z280/Z190], the event will be restarted automatically. However, when streaming output, recording, or sending video for auto highlight creation is in progress with a camera not connected, the setting cannot be changed.

Use this option when the video input source is a PXW-Z280/Z190.
