AM-800CL / AB-800CL- 6 -Before using AM-800CL and AB-800CLThe CCD sensor used in the AM-800CL and AB-800CL operates with four (4) taps and a 40MHz pixelclock. However, the video output through the Camera Link® interface is 2 taps for monochrome andBayer color modes, and 1 tap for RGB color output.Accordingly, the pixel clock at the Camera Link interface is 80MHz and users should make sure thatthe specifications and performance of connected frame grabber boards and PCs can support thisclock speed. The maximum length of the Camera Link cable may also be impacted.The AM-800CL and AB-800CL are high resolution and high frame rate cameras with 3296(h) x 2472(v)pixel resolution and a 17fps frame rate for monochrome and Bayer color.Accordingly, the amount of data produced is very large. If the output is set at 10-bits or 12-bits perpixel, the total data stream is approx. 2.2 Gbit/sec. as a 16-bit process in the frame grabber board.A frame grabber board connected to the PCI-32bit bus has a bandwidth of 2.1 Gbits/sec andtherefore, all frames may not be displayed.In this case, it is recommended to use the PCI-64bit bus or to use a frame grabber board that canutilize the PCI Express Bus x 8.JAI recommends using a PC with CPU better than i7.It should be noted, even though you use the mentioned PC, you might not capture a full of 17fpsimage while you view full resolution images on the screen.
