Page 3: Introduction
The CLV-411 incorporates high-speed 85 MHz interfaces and supports the Camera Link base configuration. Medium configuration applications are supported using two CLV- 411s. Multiple CLV-411s may be cascaded for large parallel processing systems. The CLV-411 Camera Link Video Splitter is housed in a sturdy, compact aluminum enclosure. The Camera Link interface standard enables the interoperability of cameras and frame grabbers, regardless of vendor. - Page 4 Camera Link Video CLV-411 ivid ngineering Splitter FRAME GRABBER 1 FRAME GRABBER 2 FRAME GRABBER 3 FRAME GRABBER 4...

1.3. Functional Description A block diagram of the CLV-411 is provided in Figure 1-1. The CLV-411 interfaces one camera to up-to four frame grabbers using standard Camera Link cables. One frame grabber acts as the master (primary). The master frame grabber receives video data from the camera, and can also control and communicate with the camera. - Page 7 Data Camera LVDS Rcvr Control LVDS Rcvr Serial Comm LVDS Xmtr Channel Link Video Transmitter Data Camera LVDS Rcvr Control LVDS Rcvr Serial Comm LVDS Xmtr Master Opto- Select Isolators CLV-411 Camera Link Video Splitter Figure 1-1: CLV-411 Block Diagram...

Page 8: Master Frame Grabber Selection
1.3.1. Master Frame Grabber Selection Master frame grabber selection is supported via the master select port. Note that the use of this port is optional. Two opto-isolated control inputs are provided via a DB9 connector on the rear panel. Voltage levels applied to these inputs select the master frame grabber. Master reassignment occurs instantaneously, enabling real-time master selection. -
Page 9: Typical Applications
1.4.1. Standard Base Application A typical CLV-411 base application is shown in Figure 1-2. A Camera Link base configuration camera is connected to a single CLV-411 via a standard Camera Link cable. Additional Camera Link cables are then used to connect the CLV-411 to up-to four Camera Link frame grabbers. -
Page 10: Medium Application
1.4.2. Medium Application A CLV-411 medium application is shown in Figure 1-3. Medium configurations, in which two cables connect the camera to the frame grabbers, are supported using two CLV-411s in parallel. A Camera Link medium configuration camera is connected to two CLV-411s via a pair of standard Camera Link cables. -
