    DOC-USR-0064-02 1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Z3-DM368-SDI-RPS development system consists of both hardware and software. The hardware provided includes one Z3-DM368-MOD system on module card and a carrier or application board, the Z3- DM368-APP-11, which provides advanced video input and output capabilities. The bundled software includes all necessary components for the user to develop their own advanced multimedia, graphics and DSP applications.

    CONFIDENTIAL DOC-USR-0064-02 An application board, the Z3-DM368-APP-11, is included with the Z3-DM368-SDI-RPS. It measures 100mm x 190mm. This application board uses the I/O expansion capability of the Z3-DM368-MOD to implement additional functions not present in the base module. The Z3-DM368-APP-11 application board has HD-SDI, and composite (CVBS) inputs, Ethernet and ASI outputs, and one L/R pair of analog stereo audio inputs.
