132 Appendix B: Technical information
When the board is configured in single-Medium or single-Full mode, the first
connector has the pinout described above, while the second connector has the
following pinout.
To interface with the above connectors, use a standard Camera Link cable. You
can purchase such a cable from your video source manufacturer, 3M Interconnect
Solutions for Factory Automation, Intercon 1, or other third parties. Note that
this cable is not available from Matrox.
❖ If using both Camera Link connectors to connect to the same video source
(single-Medium mode or single-Full mode), the cables you choose must be of the
same type and length. Otherwise, the cables can have different propagation delays.
