4iPORT CL-Ten Dual Medium External Frame Grabber User Guide
The iPORT CL-Ten Dual Medium External Frame Grabber
Pleora’s iPORT™ CL-Ten External Frame Grabbers use a high performance GigE Vision® over 10 Gigabit
Ethernet (10 GigE) link to transmit video simultaneously from two Camera Link Base or Medium
cameras at their maximum data rates, with low, predictable latency. These external frame grabbers allow
designers to extend and aggregate system cabling, and integrate Camera Link cameras into a networked
environment.
CL-Ten External Frame Grabbers interact seamlessly with Pleora’s other products in networked or point-
to-point digital video systems. The frame grabbers also comply fully with the GigE Vision and
GenICam™ standards, enabling interoperation with third-party equipment in multi-vendor
environments. The GigE Vision and GenICam standards are agnostic to Ethernet link speed, which
means the CL-Ten can be designed into multi-speed systems alongside GigE Vision cameras operating at
1 Gb/s, with no software modifications. With these benefits, manufacturers and integrators can use the
CL-Ten to shorten time-to-market, reduce development and deployment risk, and lower design and
system costs.
The CL-Ten converts video data to packets and sends them over a 10 GigE link to receiving software or
hardware. The CL-Ten is compatible with industry-standard copper or fiber-based links via an SFP+
(small form-factor pluggable) connector, and can be easily connected to off-the-shelf 10 GigE
components such as network cards and switches.
The CL-Ten is bundled with Pleora’s feature-rich application toolkit, eBUS™ SDK.

Connector Locations
The following figure and table describe the external frame grabber connectors.
Table 3: External Frame Grabber Connectors
Connector Type Description
Medium Mini Camera Link Transmits images from a Camera Link camera to the external frame
grabber through a Camera Link cable. You can connect two Medium
mode cameras to the external frame grabber (connect one camera to
the connectors labeled Medium 1 and connect the other camera to the
connectors labeled Medium 2).
If PoCL is enabled, 4W at 12V is supplied to the camera, as outlined in
the PoCL specification.
Note: To use the external frame grabber in a Base Camera Link
configuration, you can connect two Base mode cameras to the external
frame grabber (connect one camera to the Medium 1A connector and
connect the other camera to the Medium 2A connector).
Power 6-pin connector Receives 12V of unfiltered DC input.
The power consumption of the external frame grabber is approximately
11.5W (when using fiber optic cabling) and approximately 10W (when
using Direct-Attach copper cabling). Values exclude PoCL power
consumption.
Ethernet SFP+ cage Interfaces the external frame grabber to Ethernet networks, as
specified in IEEE 802.3.
The Ethernet interface operates at 10 gigabits per second (Gbps), and
supports Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4).
GPIO/Serial 12-pin connector Provides external signals, such as serial communication and GPIO, to
the external frame grabber.

Mapping of Camera Link Connector and GPIO Pinouts
This section only applies to earlier releases of the external frame grabber. With the introduction of our next
generation PLC, the CC and GPIO signals are no longer linked. The CC signals are now outputs to the PLC
and the GPIO_In signals are inputs to the PLC. If you have upgraded your external frame grabber to version
2.0.0 (or later) and you want to drive the CC lines with the GPIO_In lines, you must program the PLC to
perform this task. For more information about the PLC, see the iPORT Advanced Features User Guide,
available at the Pleora Support Center. Embedded camera interfaces with version 2.0.0 (or later) firmware
have the next generation PLC.
The GPIO pins on the 12-pin circular connector allow an external signal to control a Camera Link
camera (typically, to trigger a camera). For example, triggers can be used to synchronize image capture
from multiple cameras or to synchronize image capture with an external device.
The mapping of the GPIO signals from the 12-pin circular connector to the Camera Link connector are
provided in the following table.

Signal Handling 15
Chapter 4
Signal Handling
The CL-Ten Dual Medium External Frame Grabber includes a programmable logic controller (PLC) that
lets you control external machines and react to inputs. By controlling your system using the PLC, you can
make functional changes, adjust timing, or add features without having to add new hardware.
The PLC in the iPORT CL-Ten Dual Medium External Frame Grabber routes signals through a
sophisticated PLC control block.
