Talk:Camera Link
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This section needs data rates listed. I provided links to sources if needed, but I am not sure what is the true values.
The data rates listed seem all over the place. It also may supports or is split into 3 speeds, just do not know the speeds. http://www.adept.net.au/grabbers/coreco/pccamlink.shtml

http://aegiselect.com/products/cameralink-cameras.html "Camera Link® technology features the combination of both high-speeds (1.2, 2.4, & 3.6 Gbps) and high-resolution imaging."
http://www.tmworld.com/article/CA377231.html "The three levels accommodate the wider data paths required by multi-tap cameras (with more than one video-output stream) and allow for future expansion. The full Camera Link configuration achieves an effective bandwidth of 4.8 Gbps." --Flightsoffancy (talk) 22:18, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
I went head and added data from 2004 SPECIFICATIONS published on the internet. It is possible newer specs exist.
We use CL where we work at, but I do not use it directly. --Flightsoffancy (talk) 19:23, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Descriptions of Base/Medium/Full/+ updated
A collegue of mine identified some inconsistencies between the data paths I described to him (per spec) and the information on this page, so I made a pass at updating the characteristics of Base/Medium/Full to match the 2004 (v1.1) specification. I also re-calculated the data rates for MB/sec using clk*bits/8{bits/byte}/1024{bytes/kilobyte}/1024{kilobytes/megabyte}. I intend to make another pass to add more links/references, to add the description of 'ports' as defined by the spec, and to expand and (hopefully) clarify the extensions beyond the 'Full' spec.Dfrattin (talk) 14:32, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
To conform with the SI definition of megabyte, I adjusted the bandwidth descriptions to simply reflect clk*bits/8/106Dfrattin (talk) 14:41, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
