PoCLStandard details
There are currently two Camera Link standard annexes for PoCL. Annex D and Annex
E.
Annex D is a electrical descritions, allowing manufacturers to create
cables optimized for varying combinations of length, diameter, and flexibility.
Annex D defines a connector that permits Camera Link to be integrated into
miniature and remote-head cameras.
Annex E provides an optional feature for powering and controlling the camera
using a single cable similar to USB and FireWire. This capability eliminates
the need for a separate power cable while providing full backward compatibility
for systems that do not use PoCL. |

The PoCL standard allows the camera link cable to supply power to the camera.
This solution is particularly suitable for a small digital camera since
this allows cameras to be installed in a smaller physical area.

● Single cable digital I/F (instead of current 2 cable solutions)
● 2.2 Gbps, Highest rate real time data transmission
● Compact camera size (29mm cube, right angle connection possible)
