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
