2.1 Supported Resolutions
Follow_input (2160p29.97)
Resize to 1080p29.97, 720p29.97 and 480p29.97
The HE4K-DCK-10 supports simultaneous output of up to three streams encoded at different resolutions,
frame rates and bitrates. Supported stream resolutions are:
2160p (8MP), 1440p (4MP), 1080p (2MP), 1280x1024, 720p (1MP), 480p, 576p, 1024x576, 704x576,
640x480, 640x360, 420x380, 352x576, 352x288, 352x240, 320x240, and 320x180
In addition to scaling the resolution, the camera is also capable of scaling down the frame rate to save
bandwidth. Each channel can select from full frame rate, half frame rate or a quarter frame rate. For
example, it is possible to configure a primary stream of 3840x2160 at 30 fps simultaneously with a
secondary stream at 1280x720 at 7.5 fps.
The maximum performance for two channels is one 2160p30 plus one 720p30 stream.

5.0 GETTING STARTED WITH THE HE4K-DCK-10
If you have received an HE4K-DCK-10 assembly, you will need to connect it to the Sony FCB-ER8300 4K
camera block. The Interface Front End PCB of the HE4K-DCK-10 assembly (see Figure 4) has a 30-pin KEL
connector that allows a flexible ribbon cable to be used to connect the encoder assembly to an identical
connector on the Sony FCB-ER8300.
The KEL cable is sold separately (ordering part number: CBL-0025-01).
WARNING: ONLY USE THE CORRECT KEL RIBBON CABLE PROVIDED BY Z3 TECHNOLOGY.
Using an incorrect cable can permanently damage the camera body.

5.1 Access the User Interface Using ZFinder
ZFinder is a PC utility that allows you to find any Z3 Technology product on your network. If you have
not yet downloaded this to your computer, you can find this program at Z3Cam-4K.Z3technology.com.
(1) Verify your PC is set to DHCP. If it is set to a static IP address, ZFinder may be unable to discover
your camera.
Note: The HE4K-DCK-10 is set to DHCP by default. If no DHCP server is available on the network, a static IP
address of 192.168.0.120 and a netmask of 255.255.0.0 will be assigned. The IP address can be manually
entered as the URL in a browser window to access the user interface.
(2) Run the ZFinder PC utility on your PC. You may need to allow it past any firewalls or security
programs on your PC. The ZFinder window appears and completes a scan of the network. ZFinder
then lists all Z3 systems connected to the network. The HE4K-DCK-10 appears as the Z3Cam-4K.
(3) Click on the Z3Cam-4K entry in the window to select it. This will cause the Edit Device, Open
Device and Flash LEDs buttons to activate.
Figure 6 ZFinder with the HE4K-DCK-10 Selected
Note: Selecting Edit Device allows for manual changes to network settings. See Section 10.9, ZFinder, for more
information.
Note: If the device appears in red, there is a network error, and network settings will need to be modified in
order to access the user interface.
(4) Click on Open Device. An internet browser window is opened in your default web browser (for best
results, Firefox or Chrome are recommended) and the user interface appears with the System Setup
tab open.

6.0 STREAMING CONTROL
This section gives step-by-step instructions on setting the HE4K-DCK-10 to output and stream video using
each of the output format options: UDP, RTP, RTSP and RTMP. In addition to the HE4K-DCK-10, a Windows
PC with the VLC media player

downloaded is required. Please see Section 8.4, Decoder Options, for more
information on compatible decoders and PC configuration and requirements for H.265/HEVC decode at 4K
resolutions.
6.1 Stream UDP
6.1.1 UDP Camera Setup
Note: Settings in the user interface cannot be changed if the unit is currently encoding.
(1) If necessary, click on the Stop button in the Channel Controls section of the user interface CH1 tab
or the Stop All button in the lower right corner of the screen of any tab.
(2) Verify the Output Resolution is set to Follow Input to output a 4K stream. If a lower resolution
output is desired, select this in the dropdown menu and resizing will occur.
(3) Select the Video Codec you would like to use for your video encoding. In the pictured example
H265(HEVC) is selected.
(4) Under Output Setup, select UDP in the Output Format dropdown menu.
(5) Set Dest Address to:
a. the IP address of your PC that will be running the VLC media player. To determine the
correct IP address of your PC, see APPENDIX A: Finding the IP Address of Your Computer. In
the example pictured, 192.168.0.6 is used.
b. or a multicast address. An example multicast address would be 225.1.2.3. If you are on a
shared network, check with your Network Administrator.
(6) Make note of the value listed for Dest Port. This will be 8600 by default when your system is first
received.
Note: By default a limited selection of video encoding settings are available in the user interface. See Section
8.2, “Advanced Settings Mode”, for more information on accessing additional settings.
(7) Click on the Start button. After a moment, the encoder status will change to RUNNING and the
fields above will appear in dark grey. The status LED on the unit will blink green when streaming.

6.3.2 Run VLC to View RTSP Stream
Note: Verify your PC is set up to handle decode of H.265 content at 4K resolutions. See Section 9.1, “PC
Configuration for 4K HEVC/H.265 Decode”, for more information.
(6) Open the VLC media player on your PC.
(7) Select the Media menu.
(8) Select Open Network Stream.
(9) Enter “rtsp:// IP_Address/z3-#{m}.mp4” for the network URL.
a. IP_Address will be the IP address of your HE4K-DCK-10. If your camera is set to DHCP (This is
the default setting when it is first received.), you can find this in ZFinder or the web
browser with your user interface open. If you have set your encoder to a static IP address,
this should match the Local IP Address field in the System Setup tab. In the example
pictured, the encoder was assigned 192.168.0.120 at start up.
b. z3-#
corresponds to the number of the channel tab of the user interface. For example if the CH1
tab is used, “z3-1” is entered.
a. {m} is added if a multicast address is being used. (For example, rtsp://IP_Address/z3-
1m.mp4) If you are using a unicast address, as we are in the example pictured, omit the
letter m after z3-1 in the address.
b. In this example, the full network URL would be “rtsp://192.168.0.120/z3-1.mp4”.
(10) Press Enter or click Play. You will see your camera’s video streaming to VLC.
