Camera Link HS
The camera is Camera Link HS version 1.0 compliant. Camera Link HS is the next generation of
high performance communications standards. It is used where an industrial digital camera
interfaces with a single or multiple frame grabbers and with data rates exceeding those supported
by the standard Camera Link.
A CX4 connector is used for output of up to 7 lanes.
Figure 5. Single CLHS Connector Configuration
The command channel is used by the frame grabber to send commands, configuration, and
programming data to the camera and to receive command responses, status, and image data from
the camera. Data and command transmission is done with CLHS X protocol (64b / 66b) at the
default speed of 10 Gbps.
Note that high speed data transmission limits the effective distance of copper-based cables.
