Camera Data Transfer Method
The DataLink parameter declares the data transfer method of the camera feeding the channel. MultiCam supports three data transfer methods:
- COMPOSITE: The "composite video" cameras deliver the video data as an analog composite video signal. The signal can be:
- CVBS including Color, Video, Blanking, and Sync
- VBS including Video, Blanking, and Sync
- ANALOG: The "analog industrial" cameras deliver the video data as an analog video signal. The signal can be:
- Single lane VBS including Video, Blanking, and Sync
- Single lane VB including Video, Blanking
- Three lane analog RGB with Sync on Green
- CAMERALINK: The "Camera Link" cameras deliver digital video data complying with the Camera Link standard.
Note. There is a 1-to-1 match between the values of DataLink and the Euresys frame grabber series:
- The Picolo series supports exclusively "composite video" cameras
- The Domino series supports exclusively "analog industrial" cameras
- The Grablink series supports exclusively "Camera Link" cameras
