Connect the Encoder
The Interface Front End PCB of the HE4K-DCK-10 assembly (see
) 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 4K camera block.
WARNING: ONLY USE THE CORRECT KEL RIBBON CABLE.
Using an incorrect cable can permanently damage the camera body. See the HE4K-DCK-10 Hardware
Specification for more information.
Connect the Z3 approved KEL ribbon cable from the “Interface Front End PCB” of the HE4K-DCK-10
(1)
) to the Sony FCB-ER8300.
Connect the supplied 2.5 mm serial cable and gender changer to the serial console of the “Main
(2)
Encoder PCB” of the HE4K-DCK-10 assembly (see
) and to your PC.
(A USB to Serial converter may be needed. If so, the FTDI UC232R-10 (Digikey part #768-1014-ND) is
recommended.)
Connect an Ethernet cable to the “I/O Jack and PoE PCB” of the HE4K-DCK-10 assembly (see
