GETTING STARTED WITH THE FSDI-1XA
If you have received an FSDI-1XA assembly, you will need to connect it to the Sony LVDS camera block or a
compatible LVDS camera or a SDI Camera. The FSDI-1XA assembly 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 LVDS
compatible camera. Connect the KEL ribbon cable to the Sony LVDS block camera. (Gold teeth face up).
Connect the other end of the KEL ribbon cable to the KEL connection on the bottom of the Interface board
on the FSDI-13A. (Gold teeth face away from the PCB’s)
WARNING: Only use a Z3 approved KEL ribbon cable to connect Z3’s boards to the Sony camera. Using an
incorrect cable (the cables provided by Sony) can permanently damage the boards or camera.
The KEL
cable is sold separately by Z3 (ordering part number: CBL-0028-01).
WARNING: Use ONLY FCB-9500L LVDS or compatible camera with the KEL Cable connection.. Using an
incompatible camera may permanently damage the camera and the FSDI-1XA.
