46 Chapter 4: Matrox Solios eV-CL hardware reference
Matrox Solios eV-CLB and eV-CLBL support power over Camera Link (PoCL)
and non-PoCL compliant video sources. For compatibility with non-PoCL video
sources, Matrox Solios eV-CLB and eV-CLBL feature SafePower mode to supply
power only after determining whether the connected video source is PoCL
compliant. The PoCL protection on-board fuse can sustain a current of 0.4 A.
ChannelLink receivers
Matrox Solios eV-CLB and eV-CLBL have two ChannelLink receivers that can
be used asynchronously in dual-Base configuration or synchronously in
single-Medium configuration. Matrox Solios eV-CLF and eV-CLFL have three
ChannelLink receivers that can only be operated synchronously; in
single-Medium configuration, they only use two of the receivers, whereas in
single-Full configuration, they use all three receivers.
For Matrox Solios eV-CLB and eV-CLBL, each ChannelLink receiver can receive
up to 24 bits of video data and 4 bits of synchronization and field data from the
video source, as serialized data over four LVDS pairs; a clock is received from the
video source over a fifth LVDS pair.
For Matrox Solios eV-CLF and eV-CLFL, the first ChannelLink receiver has the
capabilities of the ChannelLink receivers on Matrox Solios eV-CLB and eV-CLBL.
In single-Medium configuration, the second ChannelLink receiver can only
receive up to 24 bits of video data and the third ChannelLink receiver is not used.
In single-Full configuration, the second and third ChannelLink receivers can each
receive 28 bits of video data.
The ChannelLink receivers can operate at frequencies of 20 MHz to 85 MHz.
