Frame grabber requirements
You can use basically any Camera Link Base compatible frame grabber to operate
Goldeye CL cameras. However, the following general aspects should be considered
for frame grabber selection:
•
The frame grabber needs to support the individual pixel clock frequency of the
camera (which may be up to 85 MHz, depending on the model). See also
Changing the clock frequency on page 188 .
• The frame grabber and the host system need to support the pixel data
bandwidth delivered by the camera.
Depending on model and operation mode, a Camera Link Base camera may be
able to output up to approximately 170 million 12-bit pixels per second.
Assuming a worst-case scenario of unpacked 16 bits per pixel transfer over the
host bus, this results in 340 million bytes per second. This is approximately
three times the bandwidth of a Gigabit Ethernet port.
• Host software design and system architecture usually affect frame grabber
selection as well, for instance the number of cameras connected to the host,
the different types of cameras connected, or the availability of a frame grabber
specific GenICam transport layer.
LED color and
flashing pattern Status and description
Booting
After powering up the camera, it indicates the boot phase
with a periodic green-red flashing.
A firmware update in progress is indicated the same way.
Green-red (1 Hz
periodic flashing)
Idle
A steady green light indicates that the camera is idle and
ready. Green

Transmission
During transmission of image data, the LED toggles between
red and green. Traffic on the serial control channel is shown
by additional irregular fast green-red flashing. This may cause
the LED to appear amber colored. Green-red
(non-periodic
fast flashing)
