2.4 BCL – Base Camera Link to LVDS Converter
BCL is designed to interface any high-resolution digital Camera Link camera to any standard
LVDS frame grabber. It converts the standard base configuration Camera Link interface signals
to a standard LVDS (RS644) output interface – Figure 8. BCL supports 24 data signals, 4 control
signals, 4 enable signals, one clock signal, and one RS232 serial interface. The maximum data
clock is 66 MHz. Figure 9 shows back and front views of the BCL. Table 7 describes the bit
assignments for base Camera Link interface. Table 8 describes the pin assignments for the 100
pin output connector. Table 9 describes the pin assignments for the 26 pin Camera Link input
connector. Detailed views of the Camera link input and LVDS output connectors are shown in
Appendix 1.
