SISO Camera Link HS

SISO Camera Link HS

Pyramid Imaging is the sole source provider for all Silicon Software products to the United States Government and Prime Military Contractors. You can view the Exclusivity Agreement here, which should suffice in obtaining a sole source justification to order from Pyramid Imaging.

The Camera Link HS standard was released in May 2012, improving on Camera Link by using off-the-shelf cables to extend reach and also offering increased bandwidth. Camera Link HS features include: single bit error immune protocols; 16 bidirectional General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) signals; system level functions such as synchronizing multiple parallel processing frame grabber; and frame by frame control of camera operating mode from the host. Camera Link HS is supported at 3.125 Gbits/s per lane with the M protocol and at 10.3 Gbits/s per lane with the X protocol. Unencrypted VHSIC Hardware Description Language (VHDL) IP cores are available, reducing interconnection issues and development risks when integrating Camera Link HS into original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or custom implementations. Even though Camera Link HS is a packet based protocol, it achieves trigger jitter of 6.4 nanoseconds (ns) using the IP core with typical latencies of 150 ns and GPIO latency and jitters in the 300 ns range.
The standard specification is maintained by Automated Imaging Association.
