Video Connectors
The MDR-26 video connectors and signal assignments comply with the Camera Link
“base” configuration. The
camera
connector signal assignments correspond to the
frame grabber interface defined in the Camera Link Specification. Conversely, the
frame grabber
connector assignments are as defined for the camera interface in the
Camera Link Specification. This arrangement provides compatibility with standard
Camera Link cables.
2.1.2.
Cable Shield Grounding
Camera and frame grabber cable “outer” shields are connected to the CLB-501B
aluminum case. Case and endplate contacting surfaces are unpainted, providing a
Faraday cage to shield internal circuitry. The case is isolated from the CLB-501B
circuitry and the cable “inner” shields, avoiding possible safety concerns.
The camera and frame grabber cable “inner” shields connect to circuit digital ground,
maintaining signal reference levels between the camera and the CLB-501B, and
between the CLB-501B and the frame grabber.
