CameraLink Frame Grabber
Hardware Interface Notes
1.
Data Configuration – 12bits x Single-Tap
The 12bit data is duplicated on both A & B outputs, to simplify Frame Grabber testing and integration.
2.
LVDS Serial Interface
The standard data rate is 9600 baud. (Faster rates, up to 57kbps can be programmed).
3.
CC-1 Trigger Interface
The camera is armed for capture modes via serial command. The CC-1 trigger is used to start the snap exposure or
live video output.
4.
PCI Bandwidth
The camera can operate at 80 Million Pixels per second. In 8-bit mode, this equates to 80MB/sec a sustained data
rate. In 12-bit mode, where 2 bytes per pixel are typically used, the maximum rate is 160MB/sec and may require
the use of a 66MHz PCI system. The data rate can be adjusted thru the on-board clock synthesizer.
