  • Page 103: Camera Link™ Reference, Timing, And Configuration Table

    The camera link standard is intended to be extremely flexible in order to meet the needs of different camera and frame grabber manufacturers. The DALSA Camera Link Implementation Road Map (available at from www.dalsa.com/mv) details how DALSA standardizes its use of the Camera Link interface. LVDS Technical Description Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) is a high speed, low power, general purpose interface standard.
