ZvConfig™ and ZvCli™ - Powerful PC based configuration tools.                  Download here

Configuring a ZvBox can be as simple as changing the RF channel used for broadcast, or as powerful as associating audio ports with video ports and controlling how video gets processed and broadcast.

All ZvBoxes can be configured by connecting a PC to the ZvBox via USB. On ZvBox 170, the most common settings can be made via a front panel.

  • ZvConfig™ is an easy to use graphical interface that uses wizards and well laid-out settings to make set up simple.
  • ZvCli™ is a command-line interface that offers the same powerful commands that are available on the serial port of the ZvPro 250. It also offers batch processing.

Either application offers the ability to upgrade firmware, perform cable scans, and easily configure large deployments.

IMPORTANT NOTE – ZeeVee is constantly updating functionality and upgrading video performance, so we recommend using either ZvConfig or ZvCli to update the firmware on any new ZeeVee product. This is the best way to get started with the best possible experience.
