9.3.4 1X4-1Y Tap Geometry Description
The characteristics of the 1X4-1Y tap geometry are:
 On each cycle of the Camera Link pixel clock, the data for four pixels are transmitted via the
Camera Link interface. This is commonly referred to as a "four tap" Camera Link configuration.
 The camera will begin transmitting data from line one. It will transmit the data for the first four
pixels in line one on the first Camera Link pixel clock cycle, the next four pixels in line one on
the second pixel clock cycle, the next four pixels in line one on the third clock cycle, and so on
until the line is complete.
 When line one is complete, transmission of line two will begin and will proceed in a similar
fashion. Data transmission will continue line-by-line until all of the data for the image have
been transmitted.
When the camera is set for the 1X4-1y tap geometry, it uses the medium Camera Link
configuration.
The 1X4-1Y transmission scheme is shown graphically in Figure 41.
