The CLS-221 Camera Link Simulator is an affordable, high-performance video test pattern generator that supports all video formats including those introduced in the current version 2.1 specification.  Fully programmable video timing enables the CLS-221 to mimic the characteristics of almost any camera.  New features include enhanced timing performance, bayer color support, and additional video patterns.  Control is via an RS-232 port, USB, or frame grabber COM port.  The CLS-221 also incorporates the AIA validation test pattern.

The CLS-221 incorporates the standard (larger) MDR connector.  It connects to devices with MDR connectors via standard cables, and to devices with the smaller SDR/HDR connectors via adapting cables.  For a simulator with SDR/HDR connectors and PoCL features please see our sister product CLS-222...

The CLS-221 is very useful for the development and test of Camera Link components and systems, and easy to use with included quick-configuration software...
