GETTING STARTED WITH THE HE4K-DCK-10

If you have received an HE4K-DCK-10 assembly, you will need to connect it to the Sony FCB-ER8300 4K
camera block. The Interface Front End PCB of the HE4K-DCK-10 assembly (see

Figure 4

) 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 FCB-ER8300.

The KEL cable is sold separately (ordering part number: CBL-0025-01).

WARNING: ONLY USE THE CORRECT KEL RIBBON CABLE PROVIDED BY Z3 TECHNOLOGY.

Using an incorrect cable can permanently damage the camera body.
