Z3 Technology Z3-Q603-RPS H.265 Video Encoder Board for Sony FCB-ER9500 & FCB-ER8530 4K Block Cameras

Quick Overview

The Z3 Technology Z3-Q603-RPS H.265 Video Encoder Board for Sony FCB-ER9500 & FCB-ER8530 4K block cameras delivers compact HEVC/H.264 encoding up to 4K. On-board GigE, RS-485, KEL connections, Micro-HDMI 1.4 I/O, and Composite input enable seamless industrial imaging integration.

Perfect for edge AI, machine vision, UAVs, and surveillance, this 60x30x15mm encoder from Aegis offers low-latency 4K@30fps streaming, <5W power, and rugged -20°C to 70°C durability. 

Made in the USA and NDAA compliant, the Z3-Q603-RPS provides a compact, high-performance HEVC 4K and HD video encoding solution for industrial imaging, machine vision, and edge AI systems. Featuring on-board GigE for fast data transfer, RS-485 serial control, and KEL connections optimized for Sony FCB-ER9500 and FCB-ER8530 4K block cameras (plus LVDS HD models), it includes Micro-HDMI 1.4 input/output and Composite video input for seamless integration. This rugged encoder supports HEVC (H.265) compression at 4K@30fps, cutting bandwidth by up to 50% over H.264 while delivering pristine quality in space-constrained setups like drones and automation tools.

Ideal for AI edge computing, factory inspection, UAV capture, medical endoscopy, and security applications, the Z3-Q603-RPS from Aegis Electronic Group offers low-latency streaming via GigE to NVRs or cloud platforms, PTZ control, low power (<5W, 5-12V DC), and industrial durability (-20°C to 70°C). At just 60x30x15mm with American-made reliability, it powers real-time analytics and multi-camera systems—ensuring top performance for your vision projects.
