2.5.4 Video Data
Table 2-3 lists the assignment of pixel data bits to the input ports on the transmitter in the camera
and the corresponding output pins on the receiver in the frame grabber. These bit assignments
comply with the Camera Link standard. As shown in the table, the bit assignments for pixel data
vary depending on the output mode of the camera. The available output modes are explained in
more detail in Section 2.5.5.
Table 2-3 also shows the assignment for the line valid bit, the data valid bit and the pixel clock.
These assignments are constant for all output modes.
