Camera Link Tap

1tap output or 2tap output can be selected, regardless of the camera settings. Output clock frequencies are as follows.
Lowering the output clock frequency improves the tolerance to video signal attenuation, which allows the camera link
cable length to be extended. Thus, it is recommended to use with 2tap unless there are board restrictions. Only the
selection of sensor tap1 or 2, or camera link tap1 is available for RGB24-bit output. The output of sensor tap4 is only
available for the selection of camera link tap2.
