Video Connector Signals
The miniCL video connector signal assignments comply with the Camera Link “base”
configuration. The
camera
connector signal assignments correspond to the frame
grabber interface defined in the Camera Link Specification for
PoCL
applications.
The
frame grabber
connector assignments are as defined for the camera interface in
the Camera Link Specification for
standard
(non-PoCL) applications. This
arrangement provides compatibility with standard Camera Link cables.
Table 2-1 identifies the signal assignments for the miniCL video connectors.
2.2.2.
Cable Shield Grounding
Camera and frame grabber cable “outer” shields are connected to the CLR-102
aluminum case. Case and endplate contacting surfaces are unpainted, providing a
Faraday cage to shield internal circuitry. The case is isolated from the CLR-102
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-102 and the frame grabber.
