5 Physical Interface
This chapter provides detailed information, such as pinouts and voltage requirements, for the
physical interface on the camera. This information will be especially useful during your initial
design-in process.
5.1 General Description of the Camera
Connections
The camera is interfaced to external circuity via connectors located on the back of the housing:
 Two 26-pin, 0.03” pin spacing, Shrunk Delta Ribbon (SDR) female connectors used to transmit
video data, control signals, and configuration commands. (This type of connector is also
known as a Mini Camera Link connector.)
These connectors can also be used to supply power to the camera in accordance with the
Power over Camera Link (PoCL) specifications in the Camera Link standard.
 One 4-pin, M5 receptacle used to connect to the camera’s GPIO line.
This connector can also be used to provide power to the camera if PoCL is not used.
The drawing below shows the location of the three connectors.
There is also an LED indicator located on the back of the camera as shown in the drawing.
