4.5. Camera Link Interface
Camera Link is an interface for the transfer of digital video data. The standard defines
data transfer on a physical base and determines connectors, cables and components for
transmission and reception. Different configurations are available, distinguishing between
the numbers of parallel transferred data bits.
For the Bobcat-640-CL camera, the BASE configuration with 1 TAP is used. The pin
assignment and pin lay-out of the Camera Link connector on the Bobcat-640-CL module
are shown in
Figure 4-3 and Table 4-4 .
