process simplifies the extraction of the RGB data from the frame grabber buffer by the host application.
Line rates up to 70 kHz can be achieved by using the Area of Interest (AOI) feature; where the smaller the
AOI, the greater the potential line rate.

RGB plus monochrome 12 bit CL Deca, maximum line rate 70 kHz (2K only), no AOI and 85

MHz CL clock

This timing can be used for applications that require line rates up to 70 kHz and therefore must use
Camera Link Deca mode and two cables.

The RGB output format is not defined in the Camera Link specification Deca. The RGB format is such that
when using a Camera Link frame grabber compatible with the Deca format configured for the mono
standard, the R, G and then B pixels will be written sequentially into the frame grabber buffer. This
process simplifies the extraction of the RGB data from the frame grabber buffer by the host application.
Line rates up to 70 kHz can be achieved by using the Area of Interest (AOI) feature; where the smaller the
AOI, the greater the potential line rate.
