  • Page 5: General Description

    Z3-DM8148-MC-RPS V2.00.02 1. General Description The Z3-DM8148-MC-RPS is a development system that allows multiple channel encode and decode of HD video. It can encode up to 2 channels of 1080i30 (30 frames per second, 60 fields per second) video, or 1 channel of 1080p60 (60 frames per second).

    CONFIDENTIAL Z3-DM8148-MC-RPS V2.00.02 An application board, the Z3-DM8168-APP-02, is included with the Z3-DM8148-MC-RPS. This application board uses the I/O expansion capability of the Z3-DM8148-MOD-2X to implement additional functions not present in the base module. The Z3-DM8168-APP-02 application board has 2 HDMI inputs, 2 YPbPr component inputs, 2 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.

  • Page 8: Thermal Considerations

    The maximum continuous power consumption by the whole Z3-DM8148-MOD-2X system during normal operation should be less than 18W, with up to 12W dissipated by the main processor. Please plan the cooling strategy appropriately. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Z3 Technology, LLC ♦ 100 N 8 ST, STE 250 ♦ Lincoln, NE 68508-1369 USA ♦ +1.402.323.0702...

  • Page 11: Code Overview

    Z3 demo application code and scripts The Z3 demo code that comes with the Z3-DM8148-MC-RPS is run from the run.sh script in dvr- rdk/dvr_rdk/bin/ti814x. 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.
