4.6. Camera Link Interface
Camera Link is an interface for the transfer of digital video data. The standard defines data
transfer on a physical base and determines connectors, cables and components for
transmission and reception. Different configurations are available, distinguishing between
the numbers of parallel transferred data bits.
For the Bobcat 320 Gated camera, the BASE configuration with 1 or 2 TAPs is used (8 / 16
bits). It is recommended to use the Bobcat 320 Gated in combination with the National
Instruments NI PCIe-1429 (or -1433)
Camera Link interface because it is supported by
Xeneth.
Table 4-6 illustrates the Camera Link signals and pin assignment in the base configuration
that is used in the Bobcat-320-Gated.
