Basic Operation and Features
3-2 Basler A500k Series
PRELIMINARY
• In the A501k/kc, the data is reformatted to be output in 2 data streams in parallel (2 taps).
The 8 Bit video data is transmitted from the camera to the frame grabber using a Camera Link
transmission format (see Section 2.5 for details). The camera can transmit video at an eight bit
depth.
For optimal digitization, gain and offset are programmable via a serial port.
