  • Page 4: General Description

    Z3-DM8168-RPS V2.0.7 1. General Description The Z3-DM8168-RPS development system consists of both hardware and software. The hardware provided includes one Z3-DM8168-MOD system on module card and an example carrier or application board, the Z3- DM8168-APP, which provides advanced video input capabilities with dual channel HDMI or component input at up to 1080p each.
  • Page 5 An example application board, Z3-DM8168-APP-02, is available from Z3 Technology and is included with the Z3-DM8168-RPS system. This application board uses the I/O expansion capability of the Z3-DM8168- MOD to implement additional functions not present in the base module. The Z3-DM8168-APP-02 application board has two HDMI inputs, two YPbPr component inputs, two analog stereo audio inputs, an SD card jack, 2 bi-color LEDs for status and a JTAG header to access the module’s on-board MSP430 processor.
