3.3 Electrical interface - Video and Data.
The Camera Link interface is designed to connect the camera to a frame grabber in order to transfer
video to the grabber as well as control data from the grabber to the camera. The maximum cable
length is 10 meter, for a 85MHz interface however 5 meter is recommended.
For a description of the Camera Link interface please refer to the Camera Link specification.
NOTE: PoCL (Power over Camera Link) is not supported. When connecting the camera to a PoCL-
compliant frame grabber, the PoCL-function must be disabled.
NOTE: Two Camera Link cables are required to connect the camera to the grabber. For stable
transmission make sure both cables are equivalent, (i.e. of the same length and preferably the same
brand and type number).
Interface connectors: 3M MDR 26-pins.
Standard Camera Link cables can be ordered at Adimec.
The Camera Link ports assignment is described in chapter 11.
