Video Connector Signals
The MDR-26 video connector signal assignments comply with the Camera Link
TM
“base” configuration. The
camera
connector signal assignments correspond to the
frame grabber interface defined in the Camera Link Specification. Conversely, the
frame grabber
connector assignments are as defined for the camera interface in the
Camera Link Specification. This arrangement provides compatibility with standard
Camera Link
TM
cables.
Table 2-1 identifies the signal assignments for the MDR-26 video connectors.
2.2.2.
Cable Shield Grounding
Camera and frame grabber cable “outer” shields are connected to the CLR-101B
aluminum case. Case and endplate contacting surfaces are unpainted, providing a
Faraday cage to shield internal circuitry. The case is isolated from the CLR-101B
circuitry and the cable “inner” shields, avoiding possible safety concerns.
The frame grabber cable “inner” shield connects to circuit digital ground, maintaining
signal reference levels between the CLR-101B and the frame grabber.
