DOC-USR-0259-02 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Z3-Q603-RPS is a compact video encoder system. The system offers encoding capabilities of H.265/HEVC and H.264 video up to 4K resolutions. Together with the 30-0101 QCS603 CPU module board, the 30-0103 and 30-0104 boards form the Z3-Q603- RPS video encoder system.
CONFIDENTIAL DOC-USR-0259-02 2.0 30-0103 30-0103 Connections The 30-0103 board has the following connections: Figure 2 Top side of 30-0103 ______________________________________________________________________________________ Z3 Technology, LLC ♦ 100 N 8 ST, STE 250 ♦ Lincoln, NE 68508-1369 USA ♦ +1.402.323.0702...
Doing so is likely to cause permanent damage to the jack. Please note that LVDS camera blocks, such as the FCB-EV7520, must use jack J7 of the Q603-RPS encoder systems. Connecting the wrong camera block to the encoder will result in permanent damage to the camera and/or encoder.
N (N=30 in this case). Z3 Technology provides the correct cable as part of the Q603-RPS complete starter kit system. The KEL cable is also sold separately (ordering part number: CBL-0025-01). Please ONLY USE THE CABLE PROVIDED BY Z3 TECHNOLOGY to connect the Sony FCB-ER8300 to the I/F Front End PCB of the Q603 30-0103.

This connector provides a direct connection with the Sony FCB-ER8300 block camera. Make sure to use the KEL ribbon cable provided or approved by Z3 Technology. Risk of permanent damage to the camera or encoder exists if a non-approved cable is used.
Using an incorrect camera is likely to permanently damage the camera body and/or encoder. Please note that the Sony 4K camera blocks, such as the FCB-ER8300, must use jack J5 of the Q603-RPS encoder systems. Connecting the wrong camera block to the encoder will result in permanent damage to the camera and/or encoder.
Please note that the pin numbering of J7 on the Interface Front End PCB is opposite of that on the Sony FCB-EV7520 camera, so that it provides a straight through pass. Please only use with a KEL cable provided by ______________________________________________________________________________________ Z3 Technology, LLC ♦ 100 N 8 ST, STE 250 ♦ Lincoln, NE 68508-1369 USA ♦ +1.402.323.0702...

DOC-USR-0259-02 Connection to a Generic HDMI Camera Figure 2 A Micro-HDMI port is also available on the Interface Front End PCB of the Q603-RPS 30-0103. See Top side of 30-0103 above. Connector J4 allows for an external HDMI source to be connected to the encoder.
Table 4 PCB J10 Pin Out Composite Input Figure 2 A Composite port is also available on the Interface Front End PCB of the Q603-RPS 30-0103. See Top side of 30-0103 above. Connector J6 allows for an external composite source to be connected to the encoder.
The pin assignments of J4 are composite shown in the table below.

This is just an example of a method to dissipate heat from the FPGA and should not be deemed sufficient or adequate for any given application. The system-level application designer must engineer a proper thermal solution that is fit for the application. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Z3 Technology, LLC ♦ 100 N 8 ST, STE 250 ♦ Lincoln, NE 68508-1369 USA ♦ +1.402.323.0702...
