Accessories

Understanding that the "glue" of an imaging system is critical, we work with leading manufacturers of imaging accessories. When considering our other imaging products we would be more than happy to quote the most compatible and affordable accessories.

Cables

We recommend Components Express cables with every camera and/or frame grabber product we sell and integrate them into each Capture System we build.  Whether you need Camera Link, FireWire, USB, Ethernet or CoaXpress we can provide a high quality solution.  Just specify the length and configuration and we will do the rest.

Camera Link Accessories

If you are looking to adapt, enhance or extend your Camera Link-based system you've come to the right place.  We offer a complete line of Vivid Engineering Camera Link Adapters, Converters, Extenders, Multiplexers, Repeaters and Simulators.

CLV-401A Video Splitter > Brochure

Camera Link Video Splitter interfaces one Camera Link camera to two frame grabbers using standard Camera Link cables.  This arrangement enables the addition of a second frame grabber for functions such as camera setup, secondary/parallel processing, and monitoring.

One frame grabber acts as master (i.e. primary) and provides control and communications to the camera.  The secondary (slave) frame grabber receives camera video data only.
  
The CLV-401A incorporates high-speed 85MHz interfaces and is compatible with all Camera Link ”base” configuration cameras.  A front-panel link status indicator identifies an active connection.
  
The CLV-401A is housed in sturdy, compact aluminum enclosure.  A locking-plug power supply is optional.

CLR-101C Repeater > Brochure

The value-priced CLR-101C Camera Link Repeater is an economical approach to increasing separation between camera and fame grabber.  One Camera Link cable connects the camera to the repeater, and a second cable connects the repeater to the frame grabber.  This solution provides a 20 meter reach between camera and frame grabber using a pair of standard 10m Camera Link cables.  Several repeaters and cables may be cascaded to support greater distances.  

CLR-101C incorporates high-speed 85MHz interfaces and is compatible with any Camera Link ”Base” configuration camera.  A front-panel link status indicator identifies an active connection.

Combining the CLR-101C with shorter cables can eliminate problems sometimes encountered using high-performance cameras and long cables.

The CLR-101C is housed in sturdy, compact aluminum enclosure.  A locking power supply connector is optional.
