38   Chapter 4: Matrox Radient eCL hardware reference

Matrox Radient eCL supports power over Camera Link (PoCL) and non-PoCL 
compliant video sources. For compatibility with non-PoCL video sources, Matrox 
Radient eCL features SafePower mode to supply power only after determining 
whether the connected video source is PoCL compliant. The PoCL protection 
on-board fuse can sustain a current of 0.4 A. 

ChannelLink receivers

Matrox Radient eCL uses ChannelLink receivers to grab from Camera Link video 
sources. Matrox Radient eCL-DB has two asynchronous ChannelLink receivers, 
permitting eCL-DB to operate in dual-Base mode; whereas Matrox Radient 
eCL-QB has four, permitting eCL-QB to operate in quad-Base mode. Matrox 
Radient eCL-SF has three ChannelLink receivers that can only operate 
synchronously. In single-Medium mode, Matrox Radient eCL-SF only uses two 
of the receivers, whereas in single-Full mode, it uses all three receivers. Matrox 
Radient eCL-DF has an additional three ChannelLink receivers that operate in 
the same manner as those on eCL-SF, permitting eCL-DF to operate in 
dual-Medium or dual-Full mode.

For Matrox Radient eCL-DB/QB, each ChannelLink receiver can receive up to 
24 bits of video data and 4 bits of synchronization data from the video source, as 
serialized data over four LVDS pairs; a clock is received from the video source over 
a fifth LVDS pair. 

For Matrox Radient eCL-SF, the first ChannelLink receiver has the same 
capabilities as the ChannelLink receivers on Matrox Radient eCL-DB/QB. In 
single-Medium mode, the second ChannelLink receiver can only receive up to 
24 bits of video data and the third ChannelLink receiver is not used. In single-Full 
mode, the second and third ChannelLink receivers can each receive 28 bits of 
video data. The additional three ChannelLink receivers on Matrox Radient 
eCL-DF operate in the same manner as those on the eCL-SF.

The ChannelLink receivers can operate at frequencies of 20 MHz to 85 MHz.
