1.3. Functional Description A block diagram of the CLR-101B is provided in Figure 1-1. The CLR-101B regenerates the “base” configuration signal set defined in the Camera Link Specification. The regenerated signals may then be transmitted an additional distance up-to 10 meters over standard Camera Link cables. -
Page 6: Typical Applications
1.4. Typical Applications 1.4.1. Standard Base Application A typical CLR-101B application is shown in Figure 1-2. A Camera Link “base” configuration camera is connected to the CLR-101B via a standard 10m Camera Link cable. A second 10m Camera Link cable is then connected from the CLR- 101B to a Camera Link frame grabber. -

Camera and frame grabber cable “outer” shields are connected to the CLR-101B aluminum case. Case and endplate contacting surfaces are unpainted, providing a Faraday cage to shield internal circuitry. The case is isolated from the CLR-101B circuitry and the cable “inner” shields, avoiding possible safety concerns. - Page 13 Table 2-1: MDR-26 Connector Assignments Camera Frame Grabber Connector Camera Link Signal Connector Pin # Signal Direction Name Pin # (frame grabber (camera pinout) pinout) Inner shield Inner shield CAM → FG CAM → FG CAM → FG CAM → FG CAM →...
