    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.

    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.
  • Page 9 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.
  • Page 10: Connection To The Sony Fcb-Ev7520A Camera

    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.

    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...
