2.3.5 Camera Link Physical Layer to Camera Link
Receiver Bits
The timing diagram below describes how the Camera Link bits are transmitted over the
physical link. In the timing diagram below, X0, X1, X2 and X3 are the physical connections.
Seven data packets of four bits each are sent during each clock cycle and provide the 28
Camera Link Bits. In the figure below, Camera Link bits 0, 8, 19 and 27 are received over
X0 to X3 in the first transfer and bits 1, 9, 20 and 5 are received in the second transfer
cycle. The timing for Y0 to Y3 and Z0 to Z3 physical connections is the same as X0 to X3.
