2016/04/04: EDT is adding another fiber-optic extender to its VisionLink series for Camera Link.
The VisionLink XF extender, for medium through extended full mode, is now in development and will complement the existing VisionLink RCX extender for base mode.
A pair of VisionLink XF modules, one connected to the camera and the other connected to the framegrabber, will enable medium, full. or 80-bit extended full mode Camera Link cameras to transfer real-time image data to a host computer over distances of tens to thousands of meters.
EDT’s VisionLink series extenders support the full Camera Link pixel clock range of 20-85 MHz. All extenders can be used with either EDT frame grabbers (including fiber-optic frame grabbers) or third-party frame grabbers.
EDT fiber extension products enable Camera Link cabling to be replaced with fiber-optic, providing remote location and electrical isolation of the camera from a host computer.
