1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The FSDI-DCK-10 is a H.265/H.264 video encoder designed to be a video encoder for SDI cameras, Sony FCB-
EV7520 block cameras, and thermal/IR cameras. It is capable of accepting HD video from the camera at 60
frames per second and producing IP streams that can be sent on a standard Ethernet cable. The FV2K-DCK10
has one KEL connector for Sony EV7520 cameras or compatible, one 3G-SDI input with loop, one analog
composite input accepting PAL or NTSC, a digital multi-format input which can accept video from LVDS or
Cameralink (CMOS as customized option) sources inputs and is capable to simultaneously encode and stream
video from two separate sources.

frame rates and bitrates. Supported stream resolutions are:
1080p (2MP), 1280x1024, 720p (1MP), 480p, 576p, 1024x576, 704x576, 640x480, 640x360, 420x380,
352x576, 352x288, 352x240, 320x240, and 320x180

5.0 GETTING STARTED WITH THE FSDI-DCK-10
WARNING: Use ONLY FCB-EV7520 or compatible camera with the FSDI-DCK-10. Using an incompatible
camera may permanently damage the camera and the FSDI-DCK-10.

(1) Once received, the FSDI-DCK-10 assembly will need to be connected to a SDI camera ( or the Sony
FCB-EV7520 HD camera block) and the secondary camera with Composite Out. The Interface Front
End PCB of the FSDI-DCK-10 assembly (see Figure 7) has SDI input or 30-pin KEL connectors that
allow a flexible ribbon cable to be used to connect the encoder assembly to an identical connector
on the Sony FCB-EV7250. The Composite Out secondary camera is connected to the FSDI-DCK-10
assembly via the MMCX or Flex I/O Connector (see Figure 6 8). The KEL cable (ordering part number:

(3) Connect an Ethernet cable from Ethernet on the back of the camera to a switch, router or other
DHCP server on the same network as your Windows PC.
(4) Connect the 12V power supply to +12V on the camera and plug into a power outlet.
If Power over Ethernet (PoE) is available, then no connection to the power supply is required.
It will take 15-30 seconds to boot.
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 Z3Stream.com/downloads .
(5) 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 FSDI-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.
(6) 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 FSDI-DCK-10 appears.
(7) Click on the FSDI-DCK-10 entry in the window to select it. This will cause the Edit Device, Open
Device and Flash LEDs buttons to activate.
Figure 9 ZFinder with the FSDI-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.

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 HD
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 HD 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.
