1. General Description

The Z3-DM8169-4K-RPS is a development system that allows decode of 4K2K content. Future versions will
support encode of 4K2K as well. The Z3-DM8169-4K-RPS consists of a hardware package and software
bundle designed to enable rapid development of multimedia applications. The hardware consists of one
Z3-DM8169-MOD-3X-RC System on Module card and one Z3-DM8169-APP-6x application board. The
software bundle consists of the necessary components for developing advanced multimedia, graphics, and
DSP applications.
The Z3-DM8169-MOD-3X is a compact OEM module. It is well suited for applications such as broadcast
video encoding and decoding, digital signage and video kiosks, medical and industrial video, video
conference terminals and MCUs, and high-definition embedded video subsystems. The Z3-DM8169-MOD-3X
features a unique expansion interface consisting of five high density connectors which provide access to
most of the interface signals available from the DM8169 processor.
MOD-3X System on Module:
An application board, the Z3-DM8169-APP-6x, is included with the Z3-DM8169-4K-RPS. This application
board uses the I/O expansion capability of the Z3-DM8169-MOD-3X to implement additional functions not
present in the base module. The Z3-DM8169-APP-6x application board has 1 HDMI input, 3 bi-color LEDs
for status and a JTAG header to access the module's on-board MSP430 processor. Figure 2 below shows the
Z3-DM8169-APP-6x application board:
