Camera Link Frame Grabbers

Camera Link is a communication interface for vision applications. The interface extends the base technology of Channel Link to provide a specification more useful for vision applications.

For years, the scientific and industrial digital video market has lacked a standard method of communication. Both frame grabber and camera manufacturers developed products with different connectors, making cable production difficult for manufacturer and very confusing for consumers. A connectivity standard between digital cameras and frame grabbers is long overdue and will become even more necessary as data rates continue to increase.
