Z3 Technology FSDI-15A Lightweight Dual Camera Full 3G-SDI Encoder for Sony FCB-EV9520L, FCB-EV9500L, Tamron MP3010M-EV HD Block Cameras & Boson IR Cameras
The Z3 Technology FSDI‑15A is a high‑performance dual video encoder designed and manufactured in the USA for demanding industrial, defense, UAV, surveillance, and inspection applications. Fully NDAA compliant, the FSDI‑15A meets stringent U.S. government and defense standards while delivering reliable streaming and recording performance in mission‑critical environments.
Supporting dual outputs, the FSDI‑15A simultaneously handles both a visible camera and an infrared (thermal) camera, providing flexible video capabilities for inspection systems, unmanned aerial platforms, and perimeter monitoring solutions. The system supports real‑time H.265 (HEVC) and H.264 video encoding, with the ability to stream over IP while recording to microSD or NFS storage.
The FSDI15A encoder easily integrates with popular 3G‑SDI and HD‑SDI block cameras, including the Sony FCB‑EV9520L, Sony FCB‑EV9500L, and Tamron MP3010M‑EV, as well as a wide range of thermal imaging cores such as the FLIR® Boson®, FLIR® Tau® 2, and Leonardo DRS® Tenum®. Its flexible architecture supports both digital and analog thermal cameras, making it an adaptable solution for modern dual‑sensor imaging systems.
