Dual encoder supporting LVDS and composite cameras

The FV2K-13A is a lightweight camera encoder that can be interfaced with two LVDS cameras or one LVDS and one composite. One camera can be an infrared or night vision system, making the encoder ideal for round-the-clock UAV inspection and surveillance applications.

The compact unit draws just 4.5W of power, and can encode multiple channels of H.265 and H.264 video in HD resolutions, as well as being able to simultaneously stream over IP and record to a microSD card.

Dual 3G-SDI Camera Encoder: FSDI2-DCK-1x

Dual SDI Camera for UAV Inspections, Surveillance and Monitoring

The FSDI2-DCK-1x is designed for dual SDI camera inspection, surveillance, industrial and UAV applications. The flexibility of the system allows for two SDI cameras or a visible camera and an infrared or night vision camera.

The system is capable of encoding and streaming multiple channels of H.265 and H.264 video in HD resolutions.

Full 4K Visible/IR Camera Encoder: FV4K-15A

Full 4K dual encoder supporting LVDS, HDMI and composite cameras

The FV4K-15A is a compact and lightweight dual camera encoder allowing both a 4K HDMI camera and a second LVDS or composite camera to be connected. It supports H.265 and H.264 encoding for both visible and thermal cameras.

The encoder allows simultaneous streaming over IP and recording to a microSD card, network file system or USB device, and can be controlled via a web interface, serial or SSH commands, a convenient API, or ONVIF.

Single Camera Encoders – Visible and IR

4K Visible/Thermal Single Camera Encoder: Q603-15

Small form factor encoding solution for visible or thermal cameras

The Q603-15 encoder provides H.265, H.264 and MJPEG encoding for HD and 4K cameras, providing full compatibility with leading visible and thermal models such as Sony FCB and FLIR Boson and Tau2.

The low-SWaP encoder features Wi-Fi connectivity and allows recording to a microSD card or network file system.

Compact H.265 4K Video Encoder: Z3-Q603-RPS

Complete H.265/HEVC and H.264 4K encoding solution

The Z3-Q603-RPS delivers low-latency encoding of H.265/HEVC and H.264 video at up to 4K resolution.

Measuring 50x40x38 mm and weighing just 43g, the Z3-Q603-RPS is Z3’s most compact video encoder and is ideal for UAV and robotics applications such as remote monitoring and surveillance.
