GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HE4K-DCK-1X and FV4K-DCK-1X are H.265/HEVC, H.264 and MJPEG video encoders designed to be a
companion to the Sony FCB-ER8300 4K block camera. They are capable of accepting 4K UHD video from the
camera at 30 frames per second and producing IP streams that can be sent on a standard Ethernet cable.
In addition to the 4K UHD stream, the FV4K version also accepts a lower resolution secondary stream of up
to 1080p at 30 fps and produces a corresponding stream independently of the primary stream.
The FV4K version secondary video inputs support analog NTSC/PAL or RS-170 composite video as well as
digital streams formatted as LVDS, and Sony LVDS.
Both encoder versions have a 30-pin KEL connector that mates directly with the FCB-ER8300 camera using a
ribbon cable, eliminating the need for additional interfaces. They can also accept 4K UHD video at 30 fps via
micro-HDMI jack.

PHYSICAL
The HE4K-DCK-1X is comprised of three PCBs:
▪Interface Front End PCB
This board contains the interface with the Sony FCB-ER8300 camera block. The ER8300 connects
directly to the KEL connector with a KEL cable provided.
Be sure to use only the KEL cable provided by Z3 Technology. Different KEL cables have different
wiring configurations, using the wrong configuration will result in permanent damage to the
camera or encoder.
An optional Micro HDMI input jack can be present. If so, this jack will accept video and audio
from an external HDMI source as long as the signal is not encrypted with HDCP.
The HE4K and FV4K encoders use different Interface Front End boards.
The HE4K front end PCB offers a KEL connector and a micro HDMI input for its main and only
video input path.
In addition to the KEL and HDMI jacks, the FV4K front end PCB contains a MMCX jack for
composite video input and a 30-pin FlexIO header for digital interface types.
▪Main Encoder PCB
This board contains the CPU and is the core of the encoder. This PCB also includes a Micro-SD
card socket. Some versions of the Main Encoder PCB also contain a 2.5mm circular jack used to
access the CPU console port, useful to load initial software and for debug.
▪I/O Jack and PoE PCB
This board contains all the I/O jacks as well as the PoE (power over Ethernet) circuits. Some
versions of this PCB contain a 2.5mm phone-style jack for the serial console port of the CPU. This
PCB contains the ESD and surge protection as required for each I/O type.
All three boards measure 58 x 58 mm, 1.6mm thick and are designed to be stacked, allowing for a very
compact mechanical assembly. The diagram below shows the physical arrangement of the three boards
mounted on a chassis together with a Sony FCB-ER8300 camera block.

THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
The HE4K-DCK-1X and FV4K-DCK-1X encoders consume only about 4W at maximum power operation. The
Sony FCB-ER8300 block camera consumes about 3.5W, so the total power dissipation of the system is
typically around 7.5W.
While a 7.5W power budget is very good, it is still enough power to cause overheating unless proper heat
dissipation methods are employed.
The user is responsible for ensuring that the complete system has enough heat dissipation to ensure
proper operating temperature of all components at all times.
The table below lists the most critical components from the thermal point of view, along with the maximum
junction temperature as specified by the vendor datasheet.

Table 1 Temperature Critical Components
When designing the thermal dissipation for the HE4K-DCK-1X it is important to consider the thermal behavior
of all parts of the system, including the PCBs, enclosure, camera block, etc.
While the majority of the power dissipation comes from the components listed in the table above, other
parts such as the DDR chip, power IC’s and inductors also contribute some power to the system and cause
the PCB to heat up. The heated-up PCB in turn will raise the ambient temperature of the entire system.
When incorporating the HE4K-DCK-1X boards into a final application, the systems engineer must ensure
proper thermal management. Failure to remove heat from the CPU may cause permanent damage to the
CPU and encoder and loss of warranty coverage.
Refer to APPENDIX 1: EXAMPLE OF PROPER THERMAL DISSIPATION for additional information.

CAMERA CONNECTIONS
5.1 Connection to the Sony FCB-ER8300 Camera
The Interface Front End PCB has a 30-pin KEL connector that allows a flexible ribbon cable to be used to
connect the encoder to an identical connector on the Sony FCB-ER8300 4K camera block.
WARNING: ONLY USE THE CORRECT KEL RIBBON CABLE PROVIDED BY Z3 TECHNOLOGY.
Using an incorrect type of KEL cable can permanently damage the camera body and/or encoder.
Figure 5 HE4K-DCK-1X Connected to FCB-ER8300 (Camera Not Included)
KEL makes two versions of ribbon cables that physically fit when connecting the encoder to the camera.
One cable is “straight thru”, with pin 1 connected to pin 1, and another is a “cross” type, with pin 1
connected to pin N (N=30 in this case).
Z3 Technology provides the correct cable as part of the HE4K-DCK-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 HE4K-
DCK-1X.
The correct cable is the “straight thru”, with pin 1 connecting to pin 1. The figure below shows the
straight cable. Note how the connectors at the ends of the cable are positioned in opposite orientation
so that pin 1 on one side connects to pin 1 on the other side.

Figure 6 Correct KEL Ribbon Cable Wiring Diagram
The KEL ribbon cable between the HE4K-DCK-1X and the FCB-ER8300 block camera is the only connection
necessary between the camera and the encoder. The KEL ribbon cable provides the following
connectivity:
▪Power from the encoder to the camera
▪Video from the camera to the encoder
▪Sony VISCA™ controls, bidirectional, using a serial port
5.2 Connection to a Generic HDMI Camera
A Micro-HDMI port is also available on the Interface Front End PCB of the HE4K-DCK-1X. If both HDMI and
KEL connections are detected, the system will default to the HDMI connection.

HARDWARE FEATURES
The following section describes the I/O jacks and controls of the three board HE4K-DCK-1X camera dock
video encoder system.
7.1 HE4K Interface Front End PCB
The HE4K Interface Front End PCB converts the video format provided by the FCB-ER8300 or a Micro-
HDMI jack to LVDS as required by the encoder board. It also passes embedded audio from the HDMI input
processor and implements a serial data path for Sony VISCA™ commands between the camera block and
the main encoder PCB.
Figure 8 HE4K Interface Front End PCB Hardware Layout
The above diagram shows the top side of the Interface Front End PCB. The following connectors are
available:
7.1.1 J1, Interface with Sony FCB-ER8300 Block Camera
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.
The connector used is a KEL USL00-30L.

7.1.5 J5 –Optional Auxiliary Power
It is possible to provide power to the FCB-ER8300 camera from an external source, using J5. In that
case, 0 Ohm resistor R9 must be removed to disconnect the internal power supply from J5 and J1.
When using internal power (from the I/O Jack PCB) R9 must be populated with a 0 Ohm resistor and
J5 must be left unconnected. J5 is normally not populated on the IFE board.
The pin assignment of J5 is shown in the table below.
When populated, the connector used is a Hisrose DF13-4P-1.25DSA.

7.1.6 J6 –Optional FPGA Debug and Expansion
Connector J6 exposes I/O pins from the FPGA. It can be used for FPGA debugging or to connect
additional devices to the FPGA.
J6 is not populated on the PCB.
The pin assignment of J6 is as shown in the table below.

connection.
Figure 9 below shows the layout of the top side of the FV4K Interface Front End board and its
connectors.
Figure 9 FV4K Interface Front End PCB
Connectors J1, J2, J3 and J5 are identical to the same name connectors on the HE4K Interface Front End
PCB. Please see section 7.1 above for the pin assignments.
7.2.1 J4 - Front End Interface
Connector J4, located on the bottom side of the FV4K Interface Front End PCB is used to send the
received video channels to the Main Encoder PCB.
The physical connector used is a Hirose DF40C-90DP-0.4V(51).
The pin assignment of J4 on the FV4K board is shown in table Table 9.
All signals on the left side of the table are LVDS. Signals on the right side are LVCMOS (not
currently supported) with 1.8V level, except the UART and I2S pins 70 through 82, which are
LVCMOS (not currently supported) 3.3V.
