CamareLink协议中包含内容

 CamareLink协议是限制相机与采集卡之间的传输的一种协议。

CamareLink协议需要包含以下内容：The standard Camera Link cable provides camera control signals,serial communication, and video data.即就是CC信号；串口信号；X0~X3、XCLK信号。

下面来一次介绍这些信号：

1.CC信号：

Four LVDS pairs are reserved for general-purpose camera control. They
are defined as camera inputs and frame grabber outputs. Camera
manufacturers can define these signals to meet their needs for a particular
product.（四对低压差分信号用于控制相机。他们定义了采集卡的输出与相机的输入。相机制造生可以定义这些信号，用于满足他们的特定需求。）

The signals are:
• Camera Control 1 (CC1)
• Camera Control 2 (CC2)
• Camera Control 3 (CC3)
• Camera Control 4 (CC4)

2.串口协议：

Two LVDS pairs have been allocated for asynchronous serial
communication to and from the camera and frame grabber. Cameras and
frame grabbers should support at least 9600 baud.（我们分配两对低压差分信号给来去采集卡和相机的异步串行通信。相机和采集卡至少应该支持9600波特。）

These signals are
• SerTFG—Differential pair with serial communications to the frame
grabber.
• SerTC—Differential pair with serial communications to the camera

3.Video Data：

The Channel Link technology is integral to the transmission of video data.
Image data and image enables are transmitted on the Channel Link bus.
Four enable signals are defined as:
• FVAL—Frame Valid (FVAL) is defined HIGH for valid lines.帧有效，高有效
• LVAL—Line Valid (LVAL) is defined HIGH for valid pixels.行有效，高有效
• DVAL—Data Valid (DVAL) is defined HIGH when data is valid. 数据有效，高有效
• Spare— A spare has been defined for future use. 空，预留（麻将中的白板）
All four enables must be provided by the camera on each Channel Link
chip. All unused data bits must be tied to a known value by the camera.
