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 Metadata

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 Metadata

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
DMA

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.
