Camera Link® 
is a robust communications link using a dedicated cable connection and a standardized communications protocol. This standard connection allows cameras and frame grabbers complying to the standard to freely exchange data.
In order to support GigE output, Raptor also offers a standard adaptor box for Pleora, which convert CameraLink data to GigE data. Pleora’s iPORT PT1000-CL IP Engine streams video and imaging data in real time over standard GigE connections between Base-configuration Camera Link cameras and PCs.
EMCCD is a quantitative digital camera technology that is capable of detecting single photon events whilst maintaining high Quantum Efficiency, achievable by way of a unique electron multiplying structure built into the sensor.
Unlike a conventional CCD, an EMCCD is not limited by the readout noise of the output amplifier, even when operated at high readout speeds. This is achieved by adding a solid state Electron Multiplying (EM) register to the end of the normal serial register; this register allows weak signals to be multiplied before any readout noise is added by the output amplifier, hence rendering the read noise negligible. The EM register has several hundred stages that use higher than normal clock voltages. As charge is transferred through each stage the phenomenon of Impact Ionization is utilized to produce secondary electrons, and hence EM gain. When this is done over several hundred stages, the resultant gain can be (software) controlled from unity to hundreds or even thousands of times.
