    Camera Link configurations (base/medium/full). Multiple CLV-402s may be cascaded to support 4 or 8 frame grabbers. The CLV-402 may also be used as a high-speed (85 MHz) repeater, doubling the maximum distance between camera and frame grabber. The CLV-402 Camera Link is housed in a sturdy, compact aluminum enclosure and is well suited for industrial environments.

  • Page 5: Functional Description

    The slave frame grabber receives video data, but cannot control or communicate with the camera. Since the CLV-402 regenerates all signals, it also acts as a high-speed (85 MHz) repeater and supports an additional 10 meters of separation between camera and frame grabbers(s) using standard Camera Link cables.
  • Page 6: Typical Applications

    “full” configuration example, the camera is connected to a CLV-402 via a pair of standard Camera Link cables. Four additional Camera Link cables are then used to connect the CLV-402 to the master and slave Camera Link frame grabbers. The master frame grabber provides camera control and communications, and performs the primary processing functions.

    Camera Link Specification. This arrangement provides compatibility with standard Camera Link cables. Tables 2-1 and 2-2 identify the signal assignments for the CLV-402 “Base” and “Medium/Full” MDR-26 video connectors, respectively.
  • Page 11: Cable Shield Grounding

    Cable Shield Grounding Camera and frame grabber cable “outer” shields are connected to the CLV-402 aluminum case. The case is isolated from the CLV-402 circuitry and the cable “inner” shields. The frame grabber cable “inner” shield connects to circuit digital ground, maintaining signal reference levels between the CLV-402 and the frame grabber.
