Title: Question about Flir Boson Camera Link Accessory Kit
Post by: hap2001 on June 18, 2023, 01:12:03 pm
Hi.
I see this page: https://store.groupgets.com/products/boson-cameralink-kit
Which says "......the Camera Link Module includes a mini-USB connector for power and communications, and an MCX connector for analog video. ...... The Camera Link accessory outputs both analog and digital video simultaneously. Digital data is available at the Mini-Camera Link connector. The NTSC / PAL analog video signal is available at the MCX connector."
But where is that MCX connector? I cannot see it in the photo.
Also anyone have manual for it?
Thanks.

The pictured PCB is the standard FLIR camera link adapter PCB as detailed on the FLIR web site and on page 119 of the cores manual. That adapter does not have an MCX connector and does not provide composite video output. Either the Groupgets text is wrong or they are not showing the correct PCB images. I think Groupgets has combined the descriptions of the Cameralink and VPC modules in error.

Thank you Fraser, I'm clear now.
