The Grablink Full, Grablink DualBase and Grablink Base are state-of-the-art Camera Link frame grabbers representing a complete and competitive offer for machine vision systems. These new Grablink boards are particularly well-balanced in term of features offering on-board processing, such as LUTs and a Bayer CFA decoder. Moreover, these frame grabbers feature a new rich set of I/O lines particularly compatible with a wide range of sensors and encoders.


Support of 10-tap, Full, Medium, Base and Lite Camera Link^© Configuration Cameras
	Monochrome, Bayer CFA, and color RGB progressive-scan cameras supported
	Full pixel clock range: from 20 MHz up to 85 MHz
	Serial control of Camera Link cameras: the application software can use the Camera Link API functions to control the camera. Alternatively, the serial line can be configured as an additional PC COM port ensuring interoperability with existing camera control software.
	Mini Camera Link^© SDR connectors with camera activity LED indicators
	PoCL SafePower compliant
	PoCL Lite cameras compatible to interface the smallest and lightest Camera Link cameras on the market

ECCO: Extended Camera Link Cable Operation
Go beyond Camera Link specifications at no additional cost!
Operate with 30% longer cables, achieve 30% higher speed or use less costly cables

On-Board Processing
	3 Look-up table (LUT) operators
	-	Monochrome operation with selectable output bit depth: 8 bits, 10 bits or 12 bits
	-	RGB and Bayer color operations with selectable output bit depth: 3 x 8 bits, 3 x 10 bits, 3 x 12 bits or 3 x 16 bits
	Bayer CFA decoder computes the R, G and B components of the image
	Pixel formatting in the following formats:
	-	Monochrome formats: Y8, Y10, Y12, Y14 and Y16
	-	Bayer CFA formats: BAYER8, BAYER10, BAYER12, BAYER14 and BAYER16
	-	Three packed RGB components formats: RGB24
	-	Three planar RGB components formats: RGB24PL, RGB30PL, RGB36PL, RGB42PL and RGB48PL
	-	Four packed RGB plus alpha components formats: RGB32
	Image reconstruction: tap re-ordering, H/V flipping
	High-performance DMA transfers into user allocated memory with 64-bit addressing capability with image cropping capability

Digital I/O Lines Compatible with a Wide Range of Sensors and Encoders
	They form a rich set of I/O lines with, per camera:
	-	4 isolated current-sense inputs for a wide voltage input range up to 30V
	-	4 isolated contact outputs
	-	2 high-speed differential inputs
	Moreover, +5V and +12V power outputs with electronic fuse protection are provided. The Grablink Full, DualBase and Base I/O lines can be used as general-purpose I/O lines. They also have specific usages as trigger, strobe or quadrature encoder input lines.
	Form factor:
	-	PCI Express
	MultiCam Drivers for Windows^© and Linux (32- and 64-bit)
