# MV-CL042-91CM — 4k Camera Link Line Scan Cameras，Mono

> The CL series covers 2K-16K pixels and equipped with GigE/Camera Link/XoF interfaces, support a variety of ISP and algorithms that can fulfill various application needs of line scan cameras. The CL camera supports various ISP functions: Flat field correction, Gamma, LUT, white balance, CCM, SC, etc. to help users obtain higher quality image data; Despite timed exposure, a new acquisition method of trigger-width controlled exposure is added, and with external (soft/hard) trigger signals, it can flexibly adapt to external lighting conditions and exposure control needs. The High-Bandwidth Mode is equipped in the new GigE CL line scan camera. Breaking through the physical bandwidth of the gigabit network, the line frequency can been improved by 1.5-2 times, which provide users with a more cost-effective solution.
