MDR 26-Pin Connector
The MDR 26-pin connector provides reliable high-frequency transfer rates
between the camera and the acquisition device. To access this connector,
use a 3M Camera Link cable. For additional information on Camera Link
cables, including ordering information and cable lengths, see the Camera
Link Cables section in AppendixB, Cabling.
Figure4-2 shows the PCI-1428 MDR 26-pin connector assignments. See
Table4-1 for a description of the MDR-26 and 68-pin VHDCI signal
connections.

68-Pin VHDCI Connector
The 68-pin VHDCI connector connects to external digital I/O lines and
triggers. To access these connections, build a custom cable or use an
optional cable from National Instruments. For information on building a
custom cable for the 68-pin VHDCI connector, see the 68-Pin VHDCI
Cable Specification section in Appendix B, Cabling.
Figure4-3 shows the 68-pin VHDCI connector pinout. See Table4-1 for a
