Matrox Rapixo CL
Pro SF and DF
On Matrox Rapixo CL Pro SF, there is one pair (0-1) of Camera Link connectors,
whereas on Matrox Rapixo CL Pro DF, there are two pairs (0-1 and 2-3) of Camera
Link connectors. To each pair of connectors, you can connect one video source
in Medium, Full, 72-bit, or 80-bit configuration. Each of the connector pairs uses
a single acquisition path. In MIL, the (0-1) connector pair uses acquisition path
0 (M_DEV0), and the (2-3) connector pair uses acquisition path 1 (M_DEV1).
The top Camera Link connector of each pair has the pinout described above
(except replace n with the number of the acquisition path for the connector pair),
while the bottom Camera Link connector of each pair has the following pinout.
Warning ❖
When connecting a video source in Medium, Full, 72-bit, or 80-bit configuration,
ensure that you are connecting its cables to the appropriate connector. Also ensure
that the orientation of the connector is correct and do not force the connector in.
Accidentally connecting the cables to the wrong connector can damage the board
or your video source. Pins 2-5 and pins 15-18 are output pins on the top connector
(0 and 2), while they are input pins on the bottom connector (1 and 3).
