Basler racer Camera Link 1
1 Camera Link Implementation
1.1 Overview
The Basler racer Camera Link camera transmits Camera Link data in a fashion similar to devices
that use National Semiconductor DS90CR287 transmitters. For Camera Link receivers on your
frame grabber, we recommend that you use the National Semiconductor DS90CR288A or an
equivalent.
The camera receives the RS-644 camera control input signals and the serial communication input
signal defined in the Camera Link specification in a fashion similar to devices that use National
Semiconductor DS90LV048A differential line receivers. The serial communication output signal
defined in the specification is transmitted in a fashion similar to devices that use a DS90LV047A
differential line transmitter.
Detailed data sheets for the National Semiconductor components are available at the National
Semiconductor web site (www.national.com). The data sheets contain all of the information,
including application notes, that you need to implement Camera Link.
All camera models have two 26-pin SDR connectors with 0.03" pin spacing as specified in the
Camera Link standard.
Table 2 on page 3 and Table 3 on page 4 show the pin assignments for the SDR connectors.
The "SDR" (Shrunk Delta Ribbon) designation is the naming used by the 3M
company. Other companies use different names for this type of connector. For
example, Honda uses "HDR" as the connector name.
