1. General Description
The Z3-DM8169-VI-RPS development system consists of both hardware and software. The hardware
provided includes one Z3-DM8169-MOD system on module card and a carrier or application board, the Z3-
DM8169-APP-3x (x is the HW release version), which provides advanced video input capabilities. The
bundled software includes all necessary components for the user to develop its own advanced multimedia,
graphics and DSP applications.
Measuring 88mm x 108mm, the Z3-DM8169-MOD is a compact OEM module, supporting H.264 codec at up
to two channels of 1080p at 60 fps (frames per second) encode and stream, decode from stream or store in
applications such as real time transcoding, broadcast video encoding and decoding, digital signage and video
kiosks, medical and industrial video, video conference terminal and MCU and high definition embedded video
sub-systems. The Z3-DM8169-MOD features a unique expansion interface comprised of five high density
connectors providing access to the greatest majority of interface signals available from the DM8169 processor.
Figure 1 below shows the Z3-DM8169-MOD system on module.
An application board, Z3-DM8169-APP-3X,is available from Z3 Technology and is included with the Z3-
DM8169-VI-RPS system.This application board uses the I/O expansion capability of the Z3-DM8169-MOD
to implement additional functions not present in the base module. The Z3-DM8169-APP-3X application
board has an HDMI input, 3G SDI input/output, ASI input/output, YPbPr input and two analog stereo audio
inputs. Figure 2 below shows an image of a Z3-DM8169-APP-3X application board.

Its versatile design allows the system designer to focus on the end application, with confidence that the Z3-
DM8169-MOD will handle all audio and video media operations required with little or no additional
engineering effort.
Whether the end application requires encode or decode media from storage or streaming, the readily available,
production-ready Z3-DM8169-MOD will simplify the overall system design, reducing time to market and
costs.
4. Thermal Considerations
The main processor on the Z3-DM8169-MOD generates a large amount of heat, and is cooled by a fan heat
sink type cooler. The heat sink may reach temperatures in excess of 75 degrees C during work. Please make
sure that the airflow for the heat sink is free and unimpeded at all times. Hot air must have a place to escape to
allow for room air to be used to cool the chip. Failure to do so may result in permanent damage to the
processor.
The maximum continuous power consumption by the whole Z3-DM8169-MOD system during normal
operation should be less than 18W, with up to 12W dissipated by the main processor. Please plan the cooling
strategy appropriately.

5. Serial Control
5.1 Serial
1.) Plug-in a supplied serial cable from the Z3-DM8169-VI-RPS to your PC
2.) Set up Teraterm on the PC for 115k, 8, N, 1, N, 1ms/char, 50ms/line
3.) Connect to the proper COM port
4.) Connect the supplied 12V power to the Z3-DM8169-VI-RPS
5.) Power-on the Z3-DM8169-VI-RPS
6.) Output should come immediately to the Teraterm console
