Z3 Technology CamL‑13 Dual Camera Video Encoder for UAV, Defense, and Industrial Systems
The Z3 Technology CamL‑13 is a NDAA compliant, high‑performance dual camera video encoder made in the USA, built for demanding UAV, defense, surveillance, and industrial video applications. It supports simultaneous SDI and Camera Link video inputs, encoding in H.265/HEVC, H.264, or MJPEG at up to 1080p60 with ultra‑low latency—ideal for live ISR feeds, remote monitoring, and unmanned systems.
The Camera Link Base input (via SDR connector) supports pixel clock rates up to 85 MHz and 8‑ to 16‑bit formats including Monochrome, RGB, and YUV. SDI video is captured in parallel. Output protocols include RTSP, RTP, MPEG‑2 TS, RTMP/RTMPS, TSRTP, and SRT with AES encryption (128/192/256‑bit). Data can be recorded to USB, MicroSD, or network file systems for flexible workflow integration.
The CamL13 includes embedded metadata support (STANAG 4609, MISB 0601/0604), multiple serial ports (RS‑485/RS‑232), KLV tagging, Pelco D control, and precise multi‑stream timestamping. It can be managed through a secure web GUI, API, ONVIF, or SSH, providing flexible, remote configuration.
With its AI‑ready architecture, low 4.5 W power draw, and compact 58 × 58 mm size, the CamL‑13 is an ideal edge encoder for real‑time situational awareness, drone video feeds, and secure video transmission in the field—proudly designed and manufactured in the USA for mission‑critical performance and reliability.
