Connectors on Matrox Solios eCL/XCL dual-Base/single-Medium and eCL/XCL-F boards 121
Camera Link video input connectors
The two Camera Link video input connectors are 26-pin high-density mini D
ribbon (MDR) connectors. They are used to receive video input, timing, and
synchronization signals and transmit/receive communication signals between the
video source and the frame grabber. The pinout of these connectors follow the
Camera Link standard.
The two Camera Link video input connectors have the same pinout when the
board is configured in dual-Base mode; this pinout is listed in the following table.
Note that, in this mode, each connector supports video input from one video
source.
