RUNNING THE DECODER
The Z3-DM8107-RPS can also be used to decode streams. This section describes how to quickly get decode
up and running. A second Z3-DM8107-RPS is required in these instructions. If the user has only one Z3-
DM8107-RPS, they can also try using an alternate source for the video stream (in which case the decoder
settings may have to be adjusted). They can also try encoding to file and then decoding from file using the
Serial UI (described in Section 7).
6.1
Connect the Decoder board
(1)
Connect the supplied 2.5mm serial cable and NULL modem adapter to your PC.
(2)
Take the HDMI cable connected to a monitor and connect it to HDMI Out of the RPS.
(3)
Connect the Ethernet. Make sure the Ethernet is connected to a hub/router that is also
connected to the Encoder board and PC.
(4)
Configure the PC terminal program. See steps (5)/(6) in Running the Encoder (Section 5.3).
(5)
Connect the 12V power supply and turn on the power switch. The Decoder board should power
up and you should see the serial interface menu.
