Description

The PCI DV C-Link provides high resolution image capture for Camera Link™ monochrome and color digital cameras. Most base and medium mode Camera Link cameras can be used with the PCI DV C-Link. Two MDR 26 pin connectors (Camera Link standard) are provided, for two base, or one medium mode Camera Link camera.

The PCI DV C-Link is a dual channel DMA interface, with 220 Megabytes per second capability in a 66MHz slot, or 117 Mb/sec in a 33Mhz slot. Spatial and depth resolution and the number of buffers are limited only by the host memory. Max camera speed is determined by host PCI bus available bandwidth. Images can be captured and displayed in real-time. The compact, half-length board fits in any 32 or 64 bit slot. Note that the board will only run at half speed in a 33MHz slot; for full performance with faster cameras, a 66Mhz or faster PCI or PCI-X slot is required [more]
