Camera Link
Camera Link is a serial communication protocol standard designed for camera interface applications
Camera Link is a point-to-point semi-parallel/semi-serial data interface using multiple Low-Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) pairs and one or two 26-pin Miniature Delta Ribbon (MDR-26) or SDR-26 connectors. Different Camera Link Configurations are available, they range from Camera Link Base, with one connector / cable providing a bandwidth of 2 Gbps up to Camera Link 80-bit (Deca), with two connectors / cables providing a bandwidth of 6.8 Gbps (850 Mbytes/s). In addition to image transfer, four camera control signals provide direct, no latency control of the camera.

Line-Scan Triggering Capabilities
Allied Vision frame grabbers offer many capabilities to synchronize line-scan or 1D cameras, sensors and lighting controllers. Frame grabbers can control the camera scanning rate based on the signals received from a motion encoder.
They support continuous web scanning (to inspect infinite, continuously moving surfaces without losing a single line) and discrete object scanning (to acquire the image of objects moving in front of the camera).
Area-Scan Triggering Capabilities
Allied Vision frame grabbers offer many capabilities to synchronize area-scan or 2D cameras, sensors and lighting controllers, for stationery or moving objects in the field of view, or moving cameras.
Benefits
High-Performance DMA (Direct Memory Access)
-
- Direct transfer into user-allocated memory
- Hardware scatter-gather support
General Purpose I/O Lines
-
- Compatible with a wide range of sensors and motion encoders.
- High-speed differential inputs: Quadrature motion encoder support up to 5 MHz.
- Isolated current-sense inputs: 5V, 12V, 24V signaling voltages accepted, up to 50 kHz, individual galvanic isolation up to 250VDC and 170VAC RMS.
- Isolated contact outputs.
- High-speed 5V-compliant TTL inputs/ LVTTL outputs.
Flexible Line-Scan Camera Operation With The Rate Converter
- The rate converter is a smart, programmable frequency multiplier/divider.
- Used with motion encoders and line-scan cameras, it allows the user to choose the aspect ratio of the pixels in the image.
- It provides a way to calibrate the acquisition chain to easily reach square (1:1 aspect ratio) pixels.
