Hardware Interfaces
The iPORT SB-Pro IP engine contains a number of hardware interfaces explained in the sections below.
Ethernet Connector
The Ethernet RJ-45 connector interfaces the iPORT SB-Pro IP engine to local area networks (LANs) as
specified in IEEE 802.3.
Power, Serial, and GPIO Connector (12-Pin)
The Power, Serial, and GPIO 12-pin connector provides power and external signals (like serial commu-
nication and GPIO) to the iPORT SB-Pro IP engine.
Power, Serial, and GPIO Connector (20-Pin)
The Power, Serial, and GPIO 20-pin flat flexible cable (FFC) connector connects the iPORT SB-Pro IP
engine to the 12-Pin connector.
Video Connector (10-Pin)
The Video Connector transmits 5-pairs of serialized low voltage digital signals (LVDS) from the Sony
FCB-H11 to the iPORT SB-Pro IP engine over coaxial cable. Here, these signals are deserialized to 24-
bit colour external horizontal sync (HD), vertical sync (VD), field sync (FLD), and CLK signals.
Serial and Power Connector (24-Pin)
This bidirectional serial communications connector is a UART based control interface to the serial com-
munication port of the Sony FCB-H11. This connector also provides power to the FCB-H11.
NOTE! The iPORT SB-Pro IP engine also has two 50-pin FFC cables between its main board and
daughter card. These connections are not described in this document, as they are not interfaces
which are external to the IP engine.
Assembling the iPORT SB-Pro IP Engine
The iPORT SB-Pro IP engine parts list and assembly procedure follow.
System Parts List
The required parts for assembly of the Sony Block FCB-H11 camera to the iPORT SB-Pro IP engine are
listed below. Additional information about the components of the IP engine can be found under
“Model
Variants” on page 8 of the section, “About the iPORT SB-Pro IP Engine” .
You require these components to connect the IP engine to the Sony FCB-H11 camera:
• IP engine with integrated main board, daughter card and bracket
• 10-Pin coax cable
• 24-pin FFC cable
• 20-pin FFC cable
• 12-pin GPIO connector with adapter board
