5.3.3. Camera Link interface
The video output is Camera Link with 10 or 8 bit video placed in a base configuration. The digital
output signals follow the Camera Link standardized multiplexed signal output interface. The
Camera Link output driver is NS type DS90CR285MTD.
The data bits from the digital video, FVAL, LVAL, DVAL and EEN are multiplexed into the twisted
pairs, which are a part of the Camera Link. Trigger signals and the serial camera control are
feed directly through its own pairs. The trigger input can also be TTL on the 12 pin connector.
(TI=0 for CL. TI=1 for 12 pin HR). The serial camera control can be switches between the 12 pin
connector or CL by the internal switch SW200 on PK8387B.
The 26 pin MDR connector pin assignment follows the Camera Link base configuration.
For a detailed description of Camera Link specifications, please refer to the Camera Link
standard specifications found on www.jai.com
