MDR Connectors
Port 0 and Port 1 are 26-pin MDR connectors that provide reliable
high-frequency transfer rates between the camera and the NI 1433.
•
For Base configuration cameras, connect one 26-pin MDR Camera
Link cable to Port 0 on the NI 1433.
•
For Medium, Full, or Extended Full configuration cameras, connect
one 26-pin MDR Camera Link cable to Port 0 and one 26-pin MDR
cable to Port 1 on the NI 1433.
Refer to the
section for additional information about Camera Link
cables.
Figure 3-2 shows the Base configuration 26-pin MDR connector, which is
labeled Port 0 on the NI 1433. Refer to Table 3-1 for a description of the
signals.
