Camera Link video input connectors

The two Camera Link video input connectors are 26-pin high-density mini D
ribbon (MDR) connectors. They are used to receive video input, timing, and
synchronization signals and transmit/receive communication signals between the
video source and the frame grabber. The pinout of these connectors follow the
Camera Link standard.

For the dual-Base version, the two Camera Link video input connectors have the
same pinout; each connector supports video input from one video source. This
pinout is listed in the following table:
