Review on πŸ“Ή Z3Stream H.264 1080p60 Video Encoder: High-Quality Streaming at Lightning Speed by Jamar Gow

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easiest to use, high performance, well built and half the price of others

Z3 Stream is a simple and reliable video and audio encoder that works successfully with all types of video streaming applications that I have tried. The Z3 Stream first attracted me because of its price, which was about half that of other suppliers of similar products. The Z3 Stream also offered slightly better performance (on paper at least) with a maximum resolution of 1080p60, so I decided to give it a try. When I first received the Z3 Stream I appreciated how easy it was to set up. Unlike other devices I've used in the past, there was no menu to browse. It has a small 4-position toggle switch and doesn't require entering Wi-Fi passwords on the 1.4-inch LCD screen. For my non-technical staff, setup was easy enough. I just turned it on, connected an ethernet cable to my computer and ran the included Zfinder utility. To be honest I was stunned to discover that this only works on the basis of battling competing products in the past. The interface was intuitive and easy to use, to the point where I'm happy to leave it to non-technical people to work and test without my tech support. Performance is excellent and meets advertised specifications. It has proven to be very durable over several weeks of (not always gentle) use. Well done Z3. This would be a device I would recommend without the price advantage but mostly for the cost.
