PoCL Adapter Application
A typical CLR-102
adapter
application is shown in Figure 1-3. A PoCL camera is
connected to the CLR-102 using a PoCL-compatible Camera Link cable. The
connectors on the CLR-102 are miniCL type. If the camera has a miniCL connector,
then a PoCL cable with miniCL connectors at both ends is used. If the camera uses
the larger MDR connector, then a PoCL cable with one end miniCL and one end
MDR is used. Similarly, the appropriate cable is used to connect the
standard
(non-
PoCL) frame grabber to the CLR-102. Note that the cable between the CLR-102 and
the frame grabber can be either standard camera link or PoCL type, although the
standard type is recommended.
Camera power is provided by the CLR-102. If 10m cable lengths are used, then this
solution provides a 20 meter reach between camera and frame grabber.
