Page 12: Code Overview
Z3 demo application code and scripts The Z3 application code that comes with the Z3Cam-4K-RPS is run from the serial_menu.lua script in z3apps/hevc_app/scripts/. This code calls the /opt/mcsenc binary, which initializes and runs the encoder. This binary is built from the z3apps/hevc_app/encode_app directory. The code for the binary resides in z3apps/hi35xx_app/encode_app. - Page 13 Application source code is available under a separate license agreement. For customers that have licensed it, the application source code can be found mainly in: $PRJROOT/z3apps/hevc_app/encode_app The top-level file for the menu-driven application is mcsenc.cpp. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Z3 Technology, LLC ♦ 100 N. 8th St. STE 250 ♦ Lincoln, NE 68508-1369 USA ♦ +1.402.323.0702...
