Technical Specifications and Features
The FV4K-DCK-10 is compatible with one Sony FCB-ER8300 camera, supporting resolutions up to 2160p30, and one thermal camera with a maximum resolution of 1080p30. Users can independently select between H.265 and H.264 encoding for each camera, all while consuming approximately 4.5 Watts of power. The encoder is designed to stream over IP and can simultaneously record to USB or micro SD cards.
This versatile encoder interfaces with a variety of camera types, including HDMI, LVDS, Parallel CMOS, BT1120/BT656, Cameralink, and Composite cameras. It features on-board interfaces such as RS-485, RS-232, Ethernet (with Power over Ethernet capabilities), Micro-HDMI output, and Composite output. Additionally, the video encoder supports remote serial control protocols for a wide range of cameras, including those from Sony VISCA, DRS, FLIR, and others via IP networks.
Collaboration with Industry Leaders
Marci Garcia, Senior Product Manager at Sony Visual Imaging Solutions, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “Sony is excited to collaborate with Z3 Technology to provide top-tier 4K industrial camera modules for their innovative dual camera encoding system. We expect the Z3 FV4K-DCK-10 encoder to be extensively utilized in demanding environments for security,surveillance,remote vehicle operations,and inspection tasks.”
