5.6 Connecting the camera to the PC
The camera is connected to the PC by a Camera Link cable.
NOTE
Camera Link cables are supplied ready for use in different lengths varying from
1 m to 10 m. You need a 26-pin MDR mini-D ribbon (male) connector for
connection to the allPIXA camera.
Camera Link specification limits a max cable length of up to 6 m for a pixel
clock of 85 MHz. The setup of camera, cable and frame grabber must be
tested in advance.
1. Connect the Camera Link cable:
Camera Link Port 1 or 1+2 of the allPIXA pro camera (Port 1+2 supports full data rate;
take notice that only with port 1, the half data rate is supported).
Frame grabber installed in the PC.
NOTE
Take care to connect the first port of the camera with the first port of the frame
grabber.
Changing might cause a switch between front and rear tap, some grabbers
only offer the serial connection through the first port.
