Acquisition features Matrox Meteor-II /Standard can acquire different types of
standard video formats using its video decoder. The video
decoder can accept composite (CVBS) and component (Y/C)
video in NTSC/PAL formats, and convert it to RGB 8:8:8, YUV
4:2:2 (stored in YUYV format) or YUV 4:1:1, with either square
pixels or CCIR-601 resolutions. It can also convert composite
RS-170/CCIR video formats with square pixels or CCIR-601
resolutions. The PCI and PC/104-Plus form factors feature
twelve software-selectable input channels to switch between
six Y/C or twelve composite video sources. The CompactPCI
form factor features seven inputs to switch between three Y/C
or seven composite video sources.
Matrox Meteor-II /Standard accepts an external trigger input,
and can operate in next valid frame/field mode. The PCI form
factor also includes an auxiliary power supply input, which can
be used to draw auxiliary power from your computer to provide
power to your camera.
Matrox Meteor-II /Multi-Channel
Matrox Meteor-II /Multi-Channel is a monochrome and
component RGB analog frame grabber for standard and
non-standard video acquisition. Matrox Meteor-II
/Multi-Channel is available in a PCI or PC/104-Plus form factor,
both of which can use a Matrox Meteor-II MJPEG module for
compression and decompression of monochrome and color
images.
