The Server is designed for “Plug and Play” That is, plug in your inputs and start recording without much configuration.

ZX comes with;

  • Localized power cables

  • If you purchased accessories such as media drives or a rack kit, they will be packed separately.

  • Optional Restore Disk. If you would like to create additional Restore USB Keys, please find instructions here.

First Setup

On first set up, connect a standard HDMI monitor to the ZX85 Server. While the Server comes preconfigured with a license, you may want to review the EULA and Product Registration before using the Server.

Make sure a monitor is plugged into one of the ports on the Nvidia video card when starting the Cinedeck server application. We also provide a display emulator plug with each unit which you can plug in if you don't want/have a monitor connected.

If a network card or other 3rd party PCIe device is installed in the Server, then you will be asked for a new license. In this case, please follow the instructions here to obtain a new license file.

ZX85 Front Panel

To turn on the Server, confirm a power source is connected. Behind the front right door of the unit, is the power button.

ZX85 Back Panel

Depending on the the resolution and framerate, the ZX can be configured to an 8-input ingest device. Below is the back panel.
