Matrox RadientPro CL acquisition section 33
In addition to the above video sources, the following video sources are supported
when running in 80-bit mode:
Matrox RadientPro CL supports power over Camera Link (PoCL) and non-PoCL
compliant video sources. For compatibility with non-PoCL video sources, Matrox
RadientPro CL 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.
Channel Link receivers
Matrox RadientPro CL uses ChannelLink receivers to grab from Camera Link
video sources. Matrox RadientPro CL-DB has two asynchronous ChannelLink
receivers, permitting it to operate in dual-Base mode. Matrox RadientPro CL-SF
has three ChannelLink receivers that can only operate synchronously. In a medium
configuration, Matrox RadientPro CL-SF only uses two of the receivers when in
Medium configuration, whereas in Full or 80-bit configuration, it uses all three
receivers.
In Base configuration, 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 (seven bits on each LVDS pair); a clock is received from the
video source over a fifth LVDS pair.
In Medium configuration, a second ChannelLink receiver allows you to receive
an additional 24 bits of video data, for a total of 48 bits of video data. In Full and
80-bit configuration, all three ChannelLink receivers are used, allowing you to
receive up to 64 bits and 80 bits of video data, respectively.
The ChannelLink receivers can operate at frequencies of 20 MHz to 85 MHz.
