(8) Interface
This camera has both Camera Link and USB 3.0 interface.
Camera Link Interface:
The camera Link interface is able to transfer large volumes of data. It can transfer a 4 megapixels
image with 100 fps.
In order to realize such a large volume data transfer, the camera uses Camera Link "Full
Configuration Deca Mode" which is an expanded version of Camera Link "Full Configuration". It
enables a transfer maximum 85 MHz x 10 Taps (8 bit) image data to computer as fast as 100 fps.
In order to use this interface, a Camera Link interface board which supports "Full Configuration
Deca Mode" is required.
USB 3.0 Interface:
USB 3.0 interface is able to transfer a 4 megapixels image with 40 fps. It is versatile interface
which is suitable to use when fast data transfer is not required.
This interface does not require a Camera Link interface board. It transfers image with moderate
transfer speed.
•
When a connection interface is changed from Camera Link to USB 3.0, and vice versa, the
application software must be closed and the camera must be turned off.
•
Do not connect Camera Link and USB 3.0 interface simultaneously.
