CLS-221

CLS-221 Camera Link Simulator (v2.1)

The CLS-221 Camera Link Simulator is an affordable, high-performance video test pattern generator that supports all video formats including those introduced in the new version 2.1 specification. Fully programmable video timing enables the CLS-221 to mimic the characteristics of almost any camera. New features include enhanced timing performance, bayer color support, and additional video patterns. Control is via an RS-232 port, USB, or frame grabber COM port. The CLS-221 also incorporates the AIA validation test pattern.

The CLS-221 incorporates the standard (larger) MDR connector. It connects to devices with MDR connectors via standard cables, and to devices with the smaller SDR/HDR connectors via adapting cables. For a simulator with SDR/HDR connectors and PoCL features please see our sister product CLS-222…

The CLS-221 is very useful for the development and test of Camera Link components and systems, and easy to use with included quick-configuration software…

Cable Length Note: To ensure data integrity, we recommend limiting Camera Link cable length for appliations with higher interface clock frequencies as follows:

Clock Frequency	Max Cable Length
61-79 MHz	7m
80-85 MHz	5m

For example, cables used to connect the simulator to the frame grabber should be no longer than 5m with an 85 MHz test pattern.
