A.3 Video Data
The Channel Link technology is integral to the transmission of video data. Image data and image enable
signals are transmitted on the Channel Link bus. Four enable signals are defined as:
• FVAL—Frame Valid (FVAL) is defined HIGH for valid lines.
• LVAL—Line Valid (LVAL) is defined HIGH for valid pixels.
• DVAL—Data Valid (DVAL) is defined HIGH when data is valid.
• Spare— A spare has been defined for future use.
All four enable signals must be provided by the camera on each Channel Link chip. All unused data bits
must be tied to a known value by the camera. For more information on image data bit allocations, refer to
the official Camera Link specification on the
www.dalsa.com Web site.
A.4 Camera Control Signals
Four LVDS pairs are reserved for general-purpose camera control. They are defined as camera inputs
and frame grabber outputs. Camera manufacturers can define these signals to meet their needs for a
particular product.
All four enable signals must be provided by the camera on each Channel Link chip. All unused data bits
must be tied to a known value by the camera. For more information on image data bit allocations, refer to
the official Camera Link specification on the
