Device Connection
- Connect streamZ to a power source.
- Use the included cable to link the streamZ Deck to the main unit.
- On startup, the panel defaults to Landscape mode.
📢 Tip
We recommend using a dock via the UVC port. This keeps your USB-A ports free for cameras and ensures stable signal transmission.
For more about dock, see _3.2 Dock Expansion Guide_.

The Deck triggers Start/Stop actions only. You must configure and save your stream URLs via the Web Dashboard first. See 1.4.2 Stream to Platforms for details.
