Hi, have a question that I hope someone can answer. I'm looking at the DS90CR287 device and also the document "Camera Link: Specifications of the Camera Link Interface Standard for Digital Cameras and Frame Grabbers". On page 2-1 they mention four enable signals: FVAL, LVAL, DVAL and Spare. However, I don't see these as inputs on the DS90CR287 device. How to I add these four signals?

Next, I have two video streams each stream has its own clock. I assume that I will need two DS90CR287 devices and according to page 5-2 it looks like I could use only one MDR-26 pin connector, but that does not agree with page 3-1. What am I missing here?

Thanks,

joe
