Vivid Engineering CLM-601

Highlights

The Vivid Engineering CLM-601 Camera Link Multiplexer interfaces up-to four base configuration CameraLink cameras to one frame grabber using standard CameraLink cables. This capability supports applications requiring the ability to select between multiple cameras. The CLM-601 incorporates high-speed (85 MHz) interfaces and works with any base camera. The Vivid Engineering CLM-601 provides multiple camera selection methods including rear-panel switch settings, CameraLink interface signals (serial or camera control), and an external RS-232 port. Medium configuration cameras are supported using two CLM-601s in parallel. Multiple CLM-601s may be cascaded to support more than four cameras.

A typical Vivid Engineering CLM-601 CameraLink Multiplexer application consists of four different base-configuration cameras that are connected to the multiplexer using standard CameraLink cables. Another standard cable is used to connect the multiplexer to the frame grabber. Any combination of base configuration cameras may be used including newer high-speed (85 MHz) types.
