Hardware Interface

5.1 Connectors

5.1.1 CameraLink Connector

The CameraLink cameras are interfaced to external components via
• a CameraLink connector, which is defined by the CameraLink standard as a 26 pin, 0.5"
Mini Delta-Ribbon (MDR) connector to transmit configuration, image data and trigger.
• a subminiature connector for the power supply, 7-pin Binder series 712.
The connectors are located on the back of the camera. Fig. 5.1 shows the plugs and the status
LED which indicates camera operation.

The CameraLink interface and connector are specified in [CL]. For further details including the
pinout please refer to Appendix 11. This connector is used to transmit configuration, image
data and trigger signals.

5.1.2 Power Supply

The camera requires a single voltage input (see Table 3.4). The camera meets all performance
specifications using standard switching power supplies, although well-regulated linear power
supplies provide optimum performance.
It is extremely important that you apply the appropriate voltages to your camera.
Incorrect voltages will damage the camera.
A suitable power supply is available from Photonfocus.
For further details including the pinout please refer to Appendix 11.
