Typical Applications
1.5.1.
Standard Application
A standard CLV-401A base application is shown in Figure 1-2. A Camera Link
“base” configuration camera is connected to a single CLV-401A via a standard
Camera Link cable. Two additional Camera Link cables are then used to connect the
CLV-401A to the master and slave Camera Link frame grabbers.
The master frame grabber provides camera control and communications, and
performs the primary processing functions. The slave frame grabber cannot control or
communicate with the camera, but may be used for parallel processing, secondary
processing, camera setup, monitoring, etc.
