RCL- Remote Camera Link over Fiber-Optic System
The Remote Camera Link Fiber-Optic (RCL) extension system enables frame acquisition from a remote camera at a distance of up to 10 km without repeaters. A remote camera connects directly to the RCL module that transmits the camera image over fiber optic cable. On the other end, the fiber-optic cable connects to either a Gidel PCIe HawkEye frame grabber board mounted in a host computer or to another Gidel RCLGR module that can interface with any user frame grabber. The RCL supports all Camera Link modes including 80 bit (DECA) and an option to connect two Base mode cameras.
The RCL unit is supported by remote I/O capabilities via the fiber optic cable, including:
1. Camera control lines for remote controlling of the camera as defined by the Camera Link protocol.
2. Camera Link serial communication.
3. Dedicated I/O interface for RS232 and GPIO.
4. 3-30V opto-coupler drivers and receivers.
Interfacing with the Gidel HawkEye frame grabber offers high performance acquisition, on-board real-time image processing, diverse I/O options and ability to synchronize between multiple cameras.
