Overview
Komodo FXCL system is the industry most advanced Camera Link image acquisition system
without range limitations. The system uses fiber optic cables to provide high resolution image
acquisition interface for distances up to 40km in single-mode and up to 300m in multi-mode, while
each Camera Link Full interface translated to single fiber cable. The Komodo FXCL system is
capable of receiving video streams from Camera Link Full camera while such interface supports
standard Camera Link bitrates up to 100MHz. This system is ideally suited for industrial, defense
and aerospace Machine Vision Systems and applications. The system consists of Komodo Fiber
frame grabber and CameraLink to Fiber device. The remote unit converts CameraLink interface to
fiber optic interface. The Komodo Fiber FXP system uses a high performance flow through DMA
to transmit video streams to computer memory through PCIe interface with minimal latency. This
product also provides GPIO for machine control signals, such as triggers, shaft encoders, exposure
control and general I/O, which can be control aside video stream acquisition.
The Frame Grabber utilizes PCIe Gen3 x8 links for communication with Host PC for video
uploading and configuration.

System Structure
The Komodo FXCL system consists of a CameraLink camera, an extender box (KY-CL2F) that
translates the CameraLink interface to fiber optic interface and a Komodo Fiber frame grabber that
is able to acquire video directly from fiber optic cables.
The Komodo Frame Grabber supports multiple modes of configuration and system topology. Few
of these are presented in following diagrams.

Installation and Configurations

Komodo FXCL CameraLink™ over Fiber acquisition system Hardware Reference and Installation
Guide

6.1.1 Komodo Fiber board installation
Before system installation the Komodo Fiber board should be installed into host computer.
Komodo Fiber board is standard PCIe card with 8 lanes connector.
It can be installed in any PCIe connector of the motherboard with 8 lanes and up.
Note: Board should be installed before you install your software.
1. Before installing, turn off the power of the computer and its peripherals.
2. Firmly insert the Komodo Fiber board to PCIe connector of the motherboard.
3. Anchor the PCIe bracket to the computer chassis using M3 screw.
4. Verify the Komodo board inserted correctly to the PCIe slot.
5. Power up the computer.
6. After OS is up, you will be asked to install a driver for new Multimedia Device.
At this stage, you should cancel the installation.
Under Windows and Linux the compatible drivers for Komodo board will be installed during
installation of Vision Point App software.
You can install and use multiple Komodo Fiber boards in a single computer.
The number of Komodo boards that can be installed in a computer depends on the number of
available PCIe slots.
6.1.2 Completing the Komodo FXCL system installation
In order to properly complete the Komodo FXCL system installation, the following steps must be
taken for initial power up:
1. Make sure there is no dirt or any other foreign matter inside the SFP+ module, or blocking
any of the connectors.
2. Make sure that the male connectors on the SFP+ module will align with the female
connectors inside the cage.
3. Insert the SFP+ module(s) into the KY-CL2F and Komodo Fiber board and close the
locking mechanism (*).
4. Connect the fiber cables between KY-CL2F and Komodo Fiber board.
Installation and Configurations

5. Connect the CameraLink cables between the camera and KY-CL2F unit.
6. Connect the Power Adaptor to the KY-CL2F unit.
The KY-CL2F requires 24V power supply for proper function and for PoCL power for
camera. Please, refer to Electrical specification section of this document for exact Power
Supply requirements.
7. The power supply connector of the KY-CL2F unit shown in Figure 3.
8. Turn the camera and the frame grabber on and start your application software.
(*) The Komodo FXCL system supports the following SFP+ modules:
1. KY-SFP-10G31-10 –Allows of up to 10Km connection over single mode fiber cable
2. KY-SFP-10G85-3M –Allows of up to 300m connection over multi-mode fiber cable
Note: to remove the SFP+ module, first remove the fiber cable connected to it, then open the SFP+
module’s locking mechanism (see Figure 5 and Figure 6) and remove module.

Reducing the fiber optic cable count
The system requires two fiber optical cables in order to properly operate, but sometimes it required
transferring the data over smaller number of cables.
Several options listed in the sections below exist in order to reduce the number of required optical
cables. Please note that these options are available for single mode fiber infrastructure only.
Please contact KAYA representative for details of those options.
6.2.1 Bidirectional (BIDI) SFP option
This option allows reducing one fiber optic cable from the system. The total required number of
cables will be only one.
In this option the SFP in link 0 is replaced by bidirectional (BIDI) SFP that transmits and receives
on the same fiber cable. Example connection for four link camera is described in Figure 7.
