Hardware Interface
5.1 Connectors
5.1.1 CameraLink Connector
The CameraLink cameras are interfaced to external components via
• two CameraLink connectors, which are defined by the CameraLink standard as a 26 pin,
0.05" Mini Delta-Ribbon (MDR) connector to transmit configuration, image data and
trigger.
• a subminiature connector for the power supply and external trigger input and strobe
output, 7-pin Binder series 712.
The connectors are located on the back of the camera. Fig. 5.1 shows the plugs and the status
LED which indicates camera operation.

connector.
The CameraLink interface and connector are specified in [CL]. For further details including the
pinout please refer to Appendix A. This connector is used to transmit configuration, image
data and trigger signals.
5.1.2 Power Supply
The camera requires a single voltage input (see Table 3.3). The camera meets all performance
specifications using standard switching power supplies, although well-regulated linear power
supplies provide optimum performance.
It is extremely important that you apply the appropriate voltages to your camera.
Incorrect voltages will damage the camera.
For further details including the pinout please refer to Appendix A.
