H.264 HD Module Provides OEM-ready Video Sub-system

Z3 Technology's Z3-DM368-MOD-01 is a 44x67mm compact, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) ready module that supports H.264 codecs up to 1080p at 30fps encode and stream or store-in applications such as low-latency encoding. The Z3-DM368-MOD-01 also supports 1080p decode for video kiosk, embedded solid-state DVR, network video recorder, network video monitor, industrial applications and high definition (HD) embedded video sub-systems. Based on the TMS320DM368 DaVinci video processor from Texas Instruments Inc. (TI), Z3's Z3-DM368-MOD-01 provides customers with immediate access to multi-format HD video, integrated system peripherals and production-qualified codecs so customers can design low cost, video-driven portable and plugged products in a much smaller form factor. With Z3's multimedia modules, customers' time-to-market is significantly shortened to only a few months (previously 12 to 18 months).

Based on the DM368 processor, which offers pixel-perfect images and multi-format HD video up to 1080p at 30fps, the Z3-DM368-MOD-01 features a unique multimedia-on-module approach and interface allowing customers to quickly integrate the Z3-DM368-MOD-01 into their system to enable HD H.264 support. In addition, Z3's SODIMM edge connector interface provides a flexible, yet cost effective interface to the DM368 processor's peripherals and video processing subsystem. With the DM368 DaVinci processor, customers not only benefit from the multimedia flexibility but also proven technology, software, tools and support.

Z3-DM368-MOD-01 is immediately available in a compact 44x67mm form-factor and provides access to all peripherals via the edge connector. For increased design flexibility, the Z3-DM368-MOD-01 can be combined with Z3's Z3-DM365-APP application board, which provides extra interfaces such as HD component video input and output, HDMI output, composite video input/output, analog audio input/output, headphones, USB stick, Ethernet, serial and power.
