Matrox Solios Series - Channellink Receivers

Matrox Solios eCL/XCL acquisition section 59
write to four. This means that using Matrox Solios eCL/XCL-F, for example, you
could only grab from an 8-tap x 8-bit video source if four of the taps carry pixels
that are sequential to the other four taps. To establish the number of
non-sequential memory regions to which your video source must write, refer to
the documentation accompanying your video source.
Matrox Solios eCL/XCL-B also supports power-over Camera Link (PoCL) video
sources. The PoCL protection on-board fuse can sustain a current of 0.4 A at up
to 45°C.
ChannelLink receivers
Matrox Solios eCL/XCL-B uses one ChannelLink receiver for video input(s).
Matrox Solios eCL/XCL dual-Base/single-Medium uses two ChannelLink
receivers that can be used synchronously (single-Medium mode) or
asynchronously (dual-Base mode). Finally, Matrox eCL/XCL-F uses three
ChannelLink receivers synchronously.
Each ChannelLink receiver on Matrox Solios eCL/XCL 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.
Tn: tap n, where n indicates the tap.
