1.4.1.
Standard Base Application
A typical CLV-411 base application is shown in Figure 1-2. A Camera Link base
configuration camera is connected to a single CLV-411 via a standard Camera Link
cable. Additional Camera Link cables are then used to connect the CLV-411 to up-to
four Camera Link frame grabbers.
Since the master select port is not being used in this example, frame grabber 1 is the
default master. The master frame grabber provides camera control and
communication, as well as performing processing functions. The slave frame
grabbers cannot control or communicate with the camera, but are used for parallel or
distributed processing, monitoring, etc.
