RUNNING THE DECODER
The Z3-DM8148-RPS can also be used to decode streams. This section describes how to quickly get decode
up and running. A second Z3-DM8148-RPS is required in these instructions. If the user has only one Z3-
DM8148-RPS, they can also try using an alternate source for the video stream. In that case, the decoder
settings may have to be adjusted.
