General Description
The Z3-DM816X-PCI2-RPS is a development system that allows dual encode and single decode of 1080p60
video on media-centric PCI Express applications. The hardware consists of one Z3-DM816X-MOD-3X System
on Module card with one Z3-DM8168-APP-41 PCI Express application board. The software consists of Linux
kernel and application packages to allow users to develop their own advanced multimedia, graphics and
DSP applications.
The Z3-DM8168-APP-41 application board includes 2 HDMI 1080p60 inputs and 1 HDMI 1080p60 output. It
includes a 2-lane PCIe interface that can plug into a 4-lane or 16-lane PCIe slot or a 1-lane PCIe slot with
open back. It has been proven on an ASUS motherboard (model P8H67-M, PRO/CSM, revision 3.0).
In order to make custom hardware and software development easier, the Z3-DM816X-PCI2-RPS is designed
to allow standalone operation so that the system can be developed and tested independently of any hosts.
To allow this, the Z3-DM8168-APP-41 contains independent power and Ethernet jacks, allowing for direct
connection without any hosts.
