![The image displays a logo featuring the text 'ADLINK' in bold black capital letters on the top left. Directly below it is the word 'GREEN' in bold green capital letters. To the right of the text is a graphic of a white globe with green continents, sprouting two bright green leaves from the top. Curving around the bottom right side of the globe is the black text 'RoHS Compliant'.](.euresysgrablinkavenue-datasheet-5/89b08fd16b612633b056e1c331aba232015d9ace529f56e800fdb63b1f761e5b.jpg)

![The image displays a simple line drawing of a battery icon. It features a large, rounded rectangle outlining the battery casing. Inside this outer shape is a smaller, concentric rounded rectangle. Filling this inner area is a rectangle with a horizontal gradient that transitions from white on the left to dark grey on the right. A small rectangular protrusion extends from the left side of the inner shape, representing the battery terminal. The illustration is monochromatic.](.euresysgrablinkavenue-datasheet-5/029bf333a67fdd3aab52140ed55ba35a0e31786336357fb1614c40caabfd75c9.jpg)
Grayscale Camera

![The image displays a simple, horizontal battery icon set against a white background. The icon is enclosed within a thin black rectangular outline with rounded corners. Inside, the battery is depicted as a series of four rectangular sections arranged horizontally. Starting from the left, there is a small, grey terminal protruding outward. Next to it is a red block, followed by a green block, and finally a blue block on the far right. There is no text in the image.](.euresysgrablinkavenue-datasheet-5/a3e3830f4a80e052e200f3f4acd9a177e7bf0f3129bb6a562ff4a793ba19a007.jpg)

![The image displays a logo on a white background. The text 'CAMER' appears in blue, sans-serif capital letters at the top left. Below it, the word 'Link' is written in large red letters, with a capitalized 'L'. A thin blue curved line swoops underneath the text, extending from below 'CAMER' to the right. The left edge of the image is cropped.](.euresysgrablinkavenue-datasheet-5/bd01b3e02686bf9e1ff553551a2d600710318b22a4e1f012bf97a1617cd8659e.jpg)
Camera Link

![The image shows a close-up of a silver, rectangular electronic component, likely a surface-mount device (SMD) package such as a crystal oscillator. On the top metallic surface, there is a black graphic consisting of four identical, U-shaped outlines arranged horizontally in a row. Below the third shape, near the bottom edge, is a small, solid black rectangle. The component has a subtle vertical gradient and is set against a plain, light grey background.](.euresysgrablinkavenue-datasheet-5/b9daf96e43f98547d73e59b4200f17045b3d37ff02d93824a3b4757dd875f753.jpg)

# Introduction

The Grablink Avenue is an ultra-fast PCI frame grabber for line-scan or area-scan digital Camera Link cameras. Grablink Avenue is a highperformance 64-bit, 66 MHz PCI bus board acquiring images from one camera in the Camera Link® Base configuration. This board acquires the 24-bit data, with any tap structure, at the maximum speed of 85 MHz allowing to be interfaced to the fastest cameras. It incorporates ADR Technology to provide perfect digital images to color applications.

# ADR Technology

ADR (Advanced Downweb Resampling) is the ultimate method for digital acquisition from line-scan cameras at a variable web speed. Unique advantages of ADR are:

◆ Acquisition from shutterless cameras
◆ Improved Image quality
• Permanent camera exposure and complete use of the resulting information
• Fixed Pattern Noise due to electronic shutter is avoided

◆ If the web speed changes, geometrical distortion occurs, as shown in this figure:

<table><tr><td>Slow web: 50 inch/s</td><td>100 inch/s</td><td>Fast web: 200 inch/s</td></tr><tr><td>Crossweb
Downweb
Incorrect downweb resolution.
Too many lines.</td><td>Crossweb
Downweb
Correct downweb resolution.
Correct number of lines.</td><td>Crossweb
Downweb
Incorrect downweb resolution.
Too few lines.</td></tr></table>

◆ System reliability compatible with industrial needs
