    Z3 demo application code and scripts The Z3 demo code that comes with the Z3-DM816X-VI-RPS is run from the run.sh script in dvr- rdk/dvr_rdk/bin/ti816x. This code calls the z3_dvr_rdk_demo_mcfw_api.out binary, which initializes and runs the encoder. This binary is built from the dvr-rdk directory. The code for the binary resides in z3apps/rdk/rdk_demo.
