System Architecture & Signal Flow
The RADEV5MCLSF implements a direct DMA path from the CameraLink receiver FPGA to host system memory via PCIe Gen2 x4. The on-board FPGA handles pixel reassembly, tap geometry correction, and LUT-based pixel processing before DMA transfer, offloading the host CPU. Trigger signals are routed through opto-isolated circuitry to eliminate ground loop interference in electrically noisy factory environments. The auxiliary I/O connector provides programmable strobe outputs for synchronized illumination control.
Signal Flow: CameraLink Camera → MDR/SDR Connector → FPGA Receiver → DDR3 Frame Buffer → PCIe Gen2 x4 DMA → Host System Memory → MIL / Application Layer

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the RADEV5MCLSF compatible with Camera Link HS (CLHS) cameras?
A: No. The RADEV5MCLSF supports standard CameraLink (Base/Medium/Full/80-bit) only. For CLHS, refer to Matrox Rapixo CL series.
Q: Can I use two cameras simultaneously on one RADEV5MCLSF?
A: Yes, in dual Base or dual Medium configuration using the appropriate MDR26 Y-cable or dual-port cable assembly.
Q: What MIL version is required?
A: MIL 10.0 or later is recommended. MIL-Lite is included with the board for basic acquisition functionality.
Q: Does this board support Linux?
A: Yes. Matrox provides Linux drivers for kernel 4.x and above. Contact Matrox or Konmask for the latest driver package.
Q: Is export license required for purchase?
A: Buyers are responsible for compliance with applicable export control regulations in their jurisdiction. Konmask provides standard commercial invoice documentation.
