    1.3. Functional Description A block diagram of the CLB-501B is provided in Figure 1-1. The CLB-501B provides access to the data transferred between camera and frame grabber over a Camera Link connection. All video, control, and communication data can be monitored and/or sourced via a header-style breakout connector located on the rear panel.
  • Page 6 The CLB-501B incorporates high-speed (85MHz) interfaces and is compatible with any “base” configuration camera. “Medium” configuration applications are supported using two CLB-501B’s in parallel. The CLB-501B does not support the Camera Link “full” configuration. The latency (i.e. delay) of the video, control, and communication signals passing through the CLB-501B is minimal.

    2.1. Front Panel The CLB-501B Camera Link Breakout Box front panel is shown in Figure 2-1. The front panel contains two 26-pin MDR video connectors; one for connecting to the camera and one for connecting to the frame grabber. The front panel also incorporates LED power and link status indicators.

  • Page 16: Video Connectors

    Camera and frame grabber cable “outer” shields are connected to the CLB-501B aluminum case. Case and endplate contacting surfaces are unpainted, providing a Faraday cage to shield internal circuitry. The case is isolated from the CLB-501B circuitry and the cable “inner” shields, avoiding possible safety concerns.

    2.2. Rear Panel The CLB-501B Camera Link Breakout Box rear panel is shown in Figure 2-3. The rear panel contains a 70-pin dual-row breakout header, a 4-pin dual-row auxiliary header, and a DC power jack. The DC power jack accepts either a standard 2.1 x 5.5 mm barrel-style power plug or a special locking plug.

  • Page 18: Breakout Header Signals

    2.2.1. Breakout Header Signals The breakout header is organized as two 35-pin rows. The top row contains the signals to/from the camera interface, and the bottom row contains the corresponding signals to/from the frame grabber. Table 2-2 identifies the breakout header signals. The corresponding signal name per the Camera Link Specification is also provided.
