Introduction

Overview
Designed for multi-camera systems, the CLV-403 Camera Link
1
Video Splitter interfaces
two Camera Link cameras to two frame grabbers
each
using standard Camera Link cables.
This enables the use of secondary frame grabbers for applications requiring parallel or
distributed processing, monitoring, etc. One frame grabber acts as master and provides
control and communications to the camera. The second frame grabber receives camera
video data only.
The CLV-403 incorporates high-speed 85 MHz interfaces and supports Camera Link base
configuration cameras. The CLV-403 also acts as a repeater, doubling the maximum
distance between the cameras and the frame grabbers.
Housed in a sturdy, compact aluminum enclosure, the CLV-403 Camera Link Video
Splitter is well suited for industrial environments.
