1.3 Camera Link Output Signals
1.3.1
Pixel Clock
The pixel clock is assigned to the strobe port (TxClk pin) on transmitter circuit X as defined in the
Camera Link standard and as shown in Table 1 on
sampling and transmission of pixel data. The frequency of the pixel clock is selectable, see the
aviator user's manual for details.
On each rising edge of the pixel clock signal, the data for two pixels are transmitted at 12 bit, 10 bit,
or 8 bit depth depending on the camera's current pixel format setting.
1.3.2
Frame Valid Bit
As shown in Figure 3 on
transmitted. The frame valid bit is assigned to the frame valid port on transmitter circuit X as defined
in the Camera Link standard. Pixel data is only valid when the frame valid, line valid, and data valid
bits are all high.
1.3.3
Line Valid Bit
As shown in Figure 3 on
The line valid bit is assigned to the line valid port on transmitter circuit X as defined in the Camera
Link standard. Pixel data is only valid when the frame valid, line valid, and data valid bits are all high.
1.3.4
Data Valid Bit
As shown in Figure 3 on
transmitted. The data valid bit is assigned to the data valid port on transmitter circuit X as defined
in the Camera Link standard. Pixel data is only valid when the frame valid, line valid, and data valid
bits are all high.
1.3.5
Pixel Data Bits
Pixel data bits are transmitted via output ports on transmitter circuit X. The ports as defined in the
Camera Link standard are shown in Figure 1 on
ports varies depending on the current pixel format setting of the camera. The available pixel formats
and the bit assignments are shown in detail in Table 2. The bit assignments comply with the Camera
Link standard.
