Quick Overview
The Z3 Technology FV2K-15A is a compact, Made in the USA and NDAA-compliant dual-channel H.265/H.264 video encoder designed for Sony, Tamron, and Boson block cameras. Ideal for UAV, inspection, surveillance, and industrial imaging, it supports visible and IR cameras, simultaneous IP streaming and SD recording, and operates on just 4.5W for efficient, high-performance video encoding.

The Z3 Technology FV2K-15A is an advanced dual-channel H.265/H.264 video encoder proudly Made in the USA and NDAA compliant, engineered for seamless integration with Sony FCB-EV9520L, FCB-EV9500L, Tamron MP3010M-EV, and Boson IR block cameras. This versatile encoder is ideal for UAV, inspection, surveillance, and industrial imaging applications, delivering reliable, high-quality video processing in demanding environments.

The flexible two-board hardware design (Input, Encoder, and Connector PCB) supports both visible and thermal/IR cameras, enabling simultaneous streaming and recording from multiple video sources. Designed for efficiency, the FV2K-15A consumes just 4.5 watts while streaming from two cameras—making it a perfect fit for compact and low-power edge video systems.

The Input Board offers highly adaptable digital and analog input options, supporting various camera types and signal interfaces. The built-in encoder can stream over IP networks and record directly to a microSD card, ensuring flexibility for edge or networked applications.

Preloaded with feature-rich software, the FV2K-15A offers plug-and-play functionality out of the box, simplifying system integration and reducing development time.
