Hardware Changes

The major changes in hardware are the following:

Camera Link Connectors

SDR Cables Required

 

As mE5 marathon frame grabbers provide SDR26 Camera Link connectors, you need to replace the cable connecting the camera with the frame grabber.

Make sure you select an SDR cable that can be run with the required pixel clock.

   

Two GPIO Connectors

PCIe Slot Requirements

Power and Temperature

Power over Camera Link (PoCL)

Board Size

The board size remains exactly the same: PCIe standard height, half length card (167.64 mm length x 111.15 mm height).
