5 Physical Interface
This chapter provides detailed information, such as pinouts and voltage requirements, for the
physical interface on the camera. This information will be especially useful during your initial
design-in process.
5.1 General Description of the
Connections
The camera is interfaced to external circuity via connectors located on the back of the housing:
Two 26-pin, 0.03” pin spacing, Shrunk Delta Ribbon (SDR) female connectors used to transmit
video data, control signals, and configuration commands. (This type of connector is also
known as a Mini Camera Link connector). The SDR connectors as called for in the Camera
Link specification as are the mating connectors.
The base Camera Link connector can also be used to supply power to the camera in
accordance with the Power over Camera Link (PoCL) specifications in the Camera Link
standard (for 2k and 4k cameras only; for more information, see Section 5.4.3 on page 42).
One 6-pin receptacle used to provide power to the camera if PoCL is not used. The receptacle
is a Hirose micro connector (part number HR10A-7R-6PB) or the equivalent.
The sample code included in this chapter represents "low level" code that is
actually used by he camera.
Many tasks, however, can be programmed more conveniently with fewer lines of
code when employing the Instant Camera classes, provided by the Basler pylon
C++ API. For information about the Instant Camera classes, see the C++
Programmer’s Guide and Reference Documentation delivered with the Basler
pylon Camera Software Suite.
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.
