Camera Link HS

The camera is Camera Link HS version 1.0 compliant. Camera Link HS is the next generation of
high performance communications standards. It is used where an industrial digital camera
interfaces with a single or multiple frame grabbers and with data rates exceeding those supported
by the standard Camera Link.
The Linea HS cameras come with two different output mediums. For the 8K camera it uses two LC
connectors for data output. These two LC connectors are part of the SFP+ standard but in the case
of Linea ML 8K camera the SFP+ modules are built into the camera. Either one or both SFP+
modules can be used but using only one SFP+ / Fibre optic will sacrifice available bandwidth.

For the 16K camera, it uses a CX4 connector for the output using up to 7 lanes.
The command channel is used by the frame grabber to send commands, configuration, and
programming data to the camera and to receive command responses, status, and image data from
