CLT-371A Camera Link Translator
Camera Link to HD-SDI / HDMI / DVI Converter:  The CLT-371A is now available and is an improved version of the earlier CLT-371 that was discontinued due to component obsolescence issues.    

The CLT-371A Camera Link Translator converts Camera Link to HD-SDI, enabling the use of Camera Link cameras with HD-SDI monitors, recorders, etc. Camera Link to HDMI and Camera Link to DVI are also supported via an inexpensive external adapter.  

The Camera Link converter works with most color and monochrome base-configuration cameras. Output format is either 1920x1080 or 1280x720.

The Camera Link adapter features automatic frame rate adaptation, Bayer white balance correction, and camera synchronization support.  Camera control is via an RS-232 port or USB.

No software or preconfiguration is required; configuration is via rear-panel switch settings.  

The CLT-371A is housed in a sturdy aluminum enclosure.

- Enables use of Camera Link cameras without a frame grabber 
- Can connect to cameras with mini (SDR/HDR) connector via adapting cables
- Connects to PoCL cameras via our CLR-102 repeater/adapter

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 camera to the CLT-371 should be no longer than 5m with a 85 MHz camera.
