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.

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.
“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.

The MDR-26 connectors are 3M p/n 10226-55G3VC as specified in the Camera Link Spec. Figure 2-2 identifies the MDR-26 pin positions. The CLV-402 front panel includes a red power indicator LED.
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.
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.

Video splitter cabinet dimensions are shown in Figure 3-1. The CLV-402 is housed in a sturdy aluminum enclosure. The body is extruded aluminum, with detachable front and rear endplates. The enclosure incorporates a mounting flange. The flange contains four predrilled holes (0.15” diameter) for convenient equipment mounting.
Figure 3-2: Mounting Hole Template 3.2. External Power Supply The CLV-402 is powered by 5-7 VDC and incorporates a standard 2.1 x 5.5 mm DC power jack. Power plug polarity is center-positive. The optional multi-nation wall-mount power supply handles a wide power range (90-264 VAC, 47-63 Hz) and comes with a set of outlet plugs suitable for most countries (US, Europe, UK, etc).
4. Regulatory Compliance 4.1. FCC Compliance Statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide a reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
