6.2 Connecting Camera to Frame Grabber
All demo cameras and PC units should be marked with an A and B symbol, which indicates the
polarity required for connecting the two frame grabber ports to the Camera Link MDR ports on the
camera head. This is shown in the two pictures below. Another way to distinguish which ports
connect together, is that the MDR port closest to the power connector on the camera head needs to
be connected to the frame grabber port nearest to the PCIe slot.
