CLS-222 Camera Link v2.1 PoCL Simulator
The CLS-222 Camera Link PoCL Simulator is anaffordable high-performance video test patterngenerator supporting all Camera Link configurations (base, medium, full, 72-bit, 80-bit). The CLS222 supports all Camera Link video formats including those introduced in the new Camera Link
v2.1 specification. Fully programmable video timing enables the CLS-222 to mimic the characteristics of almost any camera. New features include
enhanced timing performance, bayer color support, and color bar & pseudo-random video patterns. Control is via anRS-232 port, USB, or frame grabber comm port. The CLS-222 also supports the AIA validation test pattern.
The CLS-222 detects power and mimics PoCL camera characteristics at both connectors, supporting newer PoCLcameras. Connectors are the smaller SDR/HDR type typically used with PoCL devices.
Very useful for the development and test both PoCL and non-PoCL frame grabbers or other acquisition devices, andeasy to use with included quick-configuration software.
