1.0 PURPOSE
The purpose of this App Note is to outline the EIB-UAV-01 UART’s controls.
2.0 Available UART’s
2.1 Frontend Board
The available UART’s on a fully built FXXX-DCK-15 is 2 –3 from the front end board (FSDI/FV4K has KEL J1
and Flex I/O = 2, FV2K has KEL J1 and J2 and Flex I/O = 3) then there is an additional 3 UART’s available off
the interface board EIB-UAV-01 (UART0, UART1 and UART4)
The KEL connector (J1 and J2) UARTs are pins 18 and 19 and are reserved for Camera 1 and Camera 2
connected via the KEL cable; and controlled via the z3termserv to serve VISCA commands directly to the
camera from either the encoder software (Serial/SSH VISCA menu, Camera 1 tab or through an open TCP
port to the encoder on port 1000 (KEL connector J2) and 1001 (KEL connectorJ1)
The Flex I/O connector UART pins are defined as pins 2 and 4 and are reserved for cameras such as the
Boson, Tau2 and Tamarisk. However this UART can be utilized for other devices if no thermal camera will be
used in operation. On the Term tab of the web UI this is defined as Function IR camera2
2.2 EIB-UAV-01 Interface Board
UART0 is on connector J4 (2.5mm stereo jack); Serial port interface, RS232 level. Tip=RX, Ring=TX,
Sleeve=GND and is defined within the Term Tab in the web UI as Linux Console
UART1 is on connector J2 ; Use CTSN as the buffer’s DE direction control on half duplex connections. Pin 3 is
TXD, Pin 4 is RXD and Pin 5 is CTSN. LVTTL levels are used for this connection. Within the Term Tab in the
web UI this is defined as RS485(PTZ)
UART4 is on connector J3 ; Pin 2 is RXD and Pin 3 is TXD. LVTTL levels are used for this connection. Within
the Term Tab in the web UI this is defined as User
Section 3.1.2 within this document further defines all Jacks of the EIB-UAV-01
CBL-0048-01 can be connected to J1, J2, and J3 and allow access to the UART2 pins defined. (Available for
purchase from Z3 Technology)

3.1.1 Frontend Board Flexible I/O Connector (FV2K and FSDI Boards Only)
The FlexIO connector on the FV2K and FSDI boards provide a versatile interface with many different I/O
functions, including digital and composite video input path, control path, serial ports, etc.
These pins connect directly to the FPGA on the board, so their functions and I/O standard are determined by
the FPGA programming applied.

The digital I/O pins on the Flex-IO connector are programmable by software and can be used to implement
interfaces for a large number of different standards. All FlexIO pins that connect directly to an FPGA are
named AUX_*. The remaining pins have fixed functions that cannot be reassigned by software.
Pins can be programmed to be single ended or differential, input or output, and can conform to different
I/O standards such as LVTTL with 1.8V, 2.5V or 3.3V levels.
This connector is designed to provide a direct interface to popular IR cameras from FLIR, such as the Boson
or Tau, or from DRS Technologies such as the Tamarisk. However, the Flex-IO connector can easily be
programmed to accept most other common digita l formats such as LVDS, BT1120 (FSDI-DCK-1x only), etc.
The header on the FV2K and FSDI board is from JST, part number BM30B-SRDS-G-TF. Pin 1 is marked on the
PCB silkscreen by a triangle.

3.2 Connecting the DRS Tamarisk Camera Digital Interface
The DRS Tamarisk camera requires a DRS Feature Board, which provides a compatible interface to the Z3
FlexIO header. The Tamarisk Feature Board is capable to provide digital video in LVDS Cameralink format as
well as analog composite video.
The FlexIO connector is used to connect directly to the DRS Tamarisk. It provides power and control to the
camera while allowing for video capture for digital formats.
The MCX connector on the Flir Camera interface board can be used for an Analog passthrough directly to a
monitor. If a streaming analog video output is desired the MCX connector can connect directly to the MMCX
on the encoder.
The only connection needed between the camera and encoder is a FlexIO cable, wired straight pin to pin
between the camera side and encoder side. Both sides use a JST shell part number SHDR-30V-S-B.
The following pins are required:

Pins 1, 3, 5 and 7 carry +12V power from the encoder to the camera.
Pins 15 and 29 are ground and must always be connected.
Pins 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 and 28 are required for digital video transport.
Pin 30 is required only for analog composite video.
Pins 2, 4 and 8 are required for serial port control.
Pin 2 must connect directly between the encoder and camera.
Pin 4 on one side must connect to pin 4 on the other side with a resistor divider using pin 8 as ground, as
shown below. This is necessary because the Tamarisk camera will output serial data at RS232 levels, while
the FlexIO interface requires LVTTL.
The table below show the interface signal between the DRS Tamarisk camera with feature board and the Z3
FlexIO interface header. Please note that pin 4 must not be connected directly.

3.3 Connecting the FLIR Tau2 Camera Digital Interface
The FLIR Tau2 camera can be interfaced to the encoder via analog composite video or digital video.
The FLIR Tau2 camera requires an interface adapter board in order for it to provide connectivity with the
outside world. FLIR makes available a VPC module and a Cameralink module.
The Z3 interface board for the Tau2 camera will provide both composite and digital video outputs as well as
serial port and USB for standalone configuration.
The Z3 interface board provides a JST connector identical to the encoder’s FlexIO header, allowing for a
direct connection between the camera and encoder system. The same cable will carry power to the camera,
establish serial communications for control and provide a path for digital video.
This is the preferred method of connection.
The FlexIO cable for the Tau2 must wire two JST SHD header shells SHDR-30V-S-B directly, straight pin to
pin.
Pins 1, 3, 5 and 7 carry power from the encoder to the camera.
Pins 2 and 4 provide serial control, LVTTL level.
Pins 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22 and 24 are for the digital video path.
Pins 8 and 15 are ground and must always be connected.
If analog composite video is desired then pins 29 and 30 need to be connected.
If digital video is NOT required then pins 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22 and 24 are not required.
The table below shows the connections between the FLIR Tau2 and the Z3 interface board for the Tau2, part
number 30-0074.
