The CLT-303R and CLT-303L Camera Link Translators convert RS-422 & LVDS to Camera Link, enabling the use of cameras incorporating traditional RS-422 and LVDS parallel digital interfaces with Camera Link frame grabbers. The “R” and “L” versions support RS-422 and LVDS cameras, respectively. These Camera Link converters are extremely flexible and can convert a wide range of cameras from parallel digital output to Camera Link base configuration with up-to 24-bit data.
The Camera Link adapters support cameras with pixel clock rates as low as 2.5 MHz and as high as 85 MHz. Features include RS-232 communication support. A front-panel link status indicator identifies an active connection.
These flexible adapters are very useful for replacing obsolete RS-422 & LVDS frame grabbers in existing imaging systems.
The CLT-303’s are housed in sturdy, compact aluminum enclosures. A locking-plug power supply is optional.

Have special requirements? We can often customize these products to meet your needs...
Note that the CLT-303 camera connector pinout is not compatible with our earlier CLT-301 and CLT-302 models.
Frame Grabber has the mini (HDR/SDR) connector?
This product incorporates the standard (MDR) connector. Camera Link cables are readily available with the standard (MDR) connector on one end and the mini (HDR/SDR) connector on the other.
Cable Length Note:
To ensure data integrity, we recommend limiting Camera Link cable length for cameras with high clock frequencies as follows:
Camera Frequency
Max Cable Length
20-60 MHz
10m
61-79 MHz
7m
80-85 MHz
5m
For example, the cable used to connect the translator to the frame grabber should be no longer than 5m with an 85 MHz camera.
