Rear Panel Connections
The CLV-401A Camera Link Video Splitter rear panel is shown in Figure 2-2. The rear
panel contains the 26-pin MDR video connector for the slave frame grabber, and the DC
power jack.
The DC power jack accepts either a standard 2.1 x 5.5 mm barrel-style power plug or a
special locking plug. The locking plug has bayonet-style “ears” on the barrel. Once
inserted, the plug is turned ¼ turn clockwise. This locks the connection and provides
retention. Plug polarity is center-positive. The locking power plug part number is
Philmore 2150 or Shogyo MP-121AR.

Video Connectors
The MDR-26 video connectors and 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. 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
cables.
