Gidel RCL remote Camera Link over Fiber Optic System | up to 40 km range 

The Remote Camera Link Fiber-Optic (RCL) extension system allows frame acquisition from a remote camera at a distance of up to 40 km without repeaters. A remote camera connects directly to the RCL module, which transmits the camera image over fiber optic cable. On the host end, the fiber-optic cable connects to either a Gidel PCIe HawkEye-CL frame grabber board mounted in a host computer or to another Gidel RCLGR module that can interface with any user frame grabber. The RCL supports all Camera Link modes, including 80-bit DECA, and has the option to connect two base mode cameras.

The RCL unit is supported by remote I/O capabilities via the fiber optic cable, including:

The Gidel HawkEye-CL frame grabber offers high speed image and video acquisition, on-board real-time image processing, many I/O options, and multi-camera synchronization.
