Camera Link Camera Control Signal Overview
Four LVDS pairs are for general-purpose camera control, defined as camera inputs / frame grabber
outputs by the Camera Link Base camera specification. These controls are on J3 connector.

Camera Control 1 (CC1)
•
Camera Control 2 (CC2)
•
Camera Control 3 (CC3)
•
Camera Control 4 (CC4)
Each camera manufacture is free to define the signals input on any one or all 4 control signals.
These control signals are used either as camera control pulses or as a static logic state. Control
signals not required by the camera are simply assigned as not used. Refer to your camera's user
manual for information on what control signals are required.
Note 1: The Xtium-CL PX4 pulse controller has a minimum resolution of 20ns.
Note 2: The internal line trigger frequency has a 2
µ
s resolution.
The Xtium-CL PX4 can assign any camera control signal to the appropriate Camera Link control.
The following screen shot shows the Sapera CamExpert dialog where Camera Link controls are
assigned.
