Connectors on Matrox Solios eCL/XCL-B 117
To interface with the above connector, use a standard Camera Link cable. You can
purchase such a cable from your video source manufacturer, 3M Interconnect
Solutions for Factory Automation, Intercon 1, or other third parties. Note that
this cable is not available from Matrox.
External auxiliary I/O connector 0
External auxiliary I/O connector 0 is a high-density D-subminiature 15-pin
(DBHD-15
*
) male or standard D-subminiature 9-pin (DB-9
†
) female connector
‡
,
located on the Matrox Solios eCL/XCL-B bracket. It is used to transmit timing
and synchronization signals, and transmit/receive auxiliary signals.
❖ The DBHD-15 auxiliary I/O connector on Matrox Solios eCL/XCL-B is not
compatible with VGA devices. Connecting the DBHD-15 connector on Matrox
Solios eCL/XCL-B to a VGA monitor or any other VGA device might damage
both the VGA device and the Matrox Solios board.
17+,4- CC2 M_CC_IO2 Camera control output 2 for acquisition path 0, which supports: timer output
(M_TIMER1/M_TIMER2 on M_DEV0), user output
(M_USER_BIT_CC_IO0/M_USER_BIT_CC_IO1 on M_DEV0), VSYNC, HSYNC, clock output, or
rerouting of specific auxiliary input signals
†
.
20+,7- SerTC Serial port to video source (UART).
26 Inner shield Ground, or for PoCL cables, +12 V.
*. These MIL constants represent the signals as of MIL 10. The signals that were previously represented by M_CCn became represented by
M_CC_IOn (where the value of n remained the same between the constants). For a complete list of changes between previous MIL versions and
MIL 10, see MILSoliosCameraLinkIOConversionTable within MIL Release Notes.
†. See the table in the Camera control and auxiliary signals section of Chapter 4: Matrox Radient eCL hardware reference for more information on
which auxiliary input signals (or auxiliary I/O signals set to input) can be rerouted onto the camera control output signals. Also note that
M_DEV0 should be replaced by the M_DEV constant used when allocating the digitizer (MdigAlloc()) for the video source.

Description
*. Sometimes referred to as DB-15, but more accurately known as DE-15.
†. More accurately known as DE-9.
‡. If you purchase the SOLCLBACCxxPAK accessory kit, you can replace the DBHD-15 auxil-
iary I/O connector with the optional DB-9 connector. In this case, the DB-9 connector has the
same pinout as auxiliary I/O connector 1 (DB-9) on the adapter board of other Matrox Solios
eCL/XCL boards. Note however, when using the optional DB-9 connector, some DBHD-15
signals are not available.
