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.
