24 Chapter 2: Hardware installation
Attach video sources to Matrox RadientPro CL as follows:
Warning
❖
When connecting a video source in Full or 80-bit configuration, ensure that you
are connecting both cables to the appropriate connector. Accidentally inverting
the cables can damage the board or your video source. Pins 2-5 and pins 15-18
are output pins on the top connector (0), while they are input pins on the bottom
connector (1).
To interface with the above connectors, use a standard Camera Link cable with a
26-pin, high-density, male, mini-Camera Link connector (HDR or SDR) at one
end. When connecting to PoCL-compliant video sources, you should use
PoCL-compliant Camera Link cables (HDR or SDR). Camera Link cables are
not available from Matrox; for possible sources, see the
Appendix B: Technical information
❖
If using Medium, Full, or 80-bit configuration, your cables must be of the same
type and length. Otherwise, the cables can have different propagation delays,
which will cause issues during acquisition.
