Functional Description
A block diagram of the CLR-101B is provided in Figure 1-1. The CLR-101B regenerates
the “base” configuration signal set defined in the Camera Link Specification. The
regenerated signals may then be transmitted an additional distance up-to 10 meters over
standard Camera Link
TM
cables.
The CLR-101B incorporates the connectors, signals, pinouts, and chipset in compliance
with the Camera Link
TM
specification. The CLR-101B regenerates all the “base”
configuration signals, consisting of video data, camera control, and serial communications.

Figure 1-1: CLR-101B Block Diagram
The CLR-101B incorporates high-speed (85MHz) interfaces and is compatible with any
“base” configuration camera. “Medium” configuration applications are supported using a
pair of CLR-101B’s in parallel. The CLR-101B does not support the Camera Link “full”
configuration.
The CLR-101B is powered by an external wall plug-in power supply (optional). A
locking power supply connector reduces the risk of an accidental disconnect.
