Camera Link Drive Capability
The cam era link cable d rive cap ability on LA-4K/ 2K cam eras has been im p roved to reach u p to 10
m eters. This cap ability has been tested u sing a nu m ber of fram e grabbers (listed in the table below ) and
w as tested u sing stand ard Cam era Link cables. The cable length d rive achieved on the variou s fram e
grabbers is as follow s:
Cable Length

Input Signals, Camera Link
The cam era accep ts control inp u ts throu gh the Cam era Link SDR26F connector. Th e cam era ship s in
internal sync, and internally p rogram m ed integration .
EXSYNC (Line Readout Trigger)
Line rate can be set internally u sing the GenICam featu res. The extern al control signal EXSYN C is
op tional and enabled throu gh the u ser interface. This cam era u ses the falling ed ge of EXSYN C to trigger
p ixel read ou t.
The EXSYN C signal tells th e cam era w hen to integrate and read ou t the im age. It can be either an
internally generated signal by the cam era, or it can be su p p lied externally via the serial interface.
Dep end ing u p on the m od e of op eration the high tim e of the EXSYN C sign al can rep resent the integration
p eriod .
N ote
: The EXSYNC signal is m easu red at CC1 and will give a ―true‖ m easu rem ent (i.e. within the
m easu rem ent resolu tion of 25 ns) even thou gh the cam era w ill only trigger at a m axim u m of 80 kH z.
Output Signals, Camera Link Clocking Signals
These signals ind icate w hen d ata is valid , allow ing you to clock the d ata from the cam era to you r
acqu isition system . These signals are p ar t of the Cam era Link configu ration and you shou ld refer to the
Cam era Link Im p lem entation Road Map , available at ou r

these signals.
