Connectors on Matrox Rapixo CL Pro boards 75
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. You can purchase such a cable from your video source manufacturer,
Components Express inc., 3M Interconnect Solutions for Factory Automation,
Intercon 1, or other third parties. Note that this cable is not available from Matrox.
❖
If using both Camera Link connectors to connect to the same video source
(Medium configuration or Full configuration), the cables you choose should be
of the same type and length. Note, however, if they are not, Matrox Rapixo CL
Pro will adapt to any delay caused by reasonable differences in length.
External auxiliary I/O connectors
The external auxiliary I/O connectors on the Matrox Rapixo CL Pro bracket and
the cable adapter bracket are high-density D-subminiature 15-pin (HD-15
*
) male
connectors. Alternatively, you can use a cable adapter bracket with a standard
D-subminiature 9-pin (DB-9
†
) female connector for auxiliary I/O connectors B
and D. On the cable adapter brackets, the connectors are panel mount connectors.
The external auxiliary I/O connectors are used to transmit/receive auxiliary
signals.
❖
The auxiliary I/O connectors on Matrox Rapixo CL Pro are not compatible with
display devices. Connecting one of the HD-15 connectors on Matrox Rapixo CL
Pro to a VGA monitor or any other display device might damage both the device
and the Matrox Rapixo CL Pro board.
The auxiliary signals can be path independent or path dependent, depending on
the functionality selected. For more information, see
signals for Matrox Rapixo CL Pro DB/QB
and
Camera control and auxiliary signals for
sections in
Chapter 4: Matrox Rapixo CL Pro hardware
for supported functionality.
