4iPORT CL-Ten External Frame Grabber User Guide
The iPORT CL-Ten External Frame Grabber
Pleora’s iPORT™ CL-Ten External Frame Grabbers use a high-performance GigE Vision® 2.0 over 10
Gigabit Ethernet (10 GigE) link to transmit video simultaneously from two Camera Link Base or
Medium cameras, or a single Camera Link Full camera at 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. Deploying the CL-Ten, manufacturers and integrators can
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 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.
A sophisticated on-board programmable logic controller (PLC) allows users to precisely measure,
synchronize, trigger, and control the operation of other vision system elements.
The CL-Ten is bundled with Pleora’s feature-rich application toolkit, eBUS™ SDK.
