Vivid Engineering CLM-611 |
|
The CLM-611 Camera Link Multiplexer interfaces up-to four Camera Link cameras of any configuration (base, medium, full, 80-bit) to one frame grabber using standard Camera Link cables. This capability supports applications requiring the ability to select between multiple cameras. The CLM-611 incorporates high-speed (85 MHz) interfaces and works with any Camera Link camera.
The Camera Link switch provides multiple camera selection methods including rear-panel switch settings, Camera Link interface signals (serial or camera control), and an external RS-232 port. An inexpensive optional adapter supports control of the CLM-611 via a PC USB port.
Multiple CLM-611s may be cascaded to support more than four cameras.
The CLM-611 Camera Link Multiplexer is housed in a sturdy, compact aluminum enclosure.

Camera and/or Frame Grabber has the mini (HDR/SDR) connector?
This product incorporates the standard (MDR) connector. Camera Link cables are readily available with the standard (MDR) connector on one end and the mini (HDR/SDR) connector on the other. Note that the CLM-611 does not support PoCL.
Cable Length Note:
To ensure data integrity, we recommend limiting Camera Link cable length for cameras with high clock frequencies as follows:
Camera Frequency |
Max Cable Length |
20-60 MHz |
10m |
61-79 MHz |
7m |
80-85 MHz |
5m |
For example, cables used to connect the camera to the multiplexer AND the multiplexer to the frame grabber should be no longer than 5m with 85 MHz cameras.
