14 Chapter 1: Introduction
Acquisition features Matrox Meteor-II /Digital can acquire digital video from
standard and non-standard cameras using the RS-422 or LVDS
differential signed format. It supports image acquisition from
genlocked cameras in 4 x 8-bit, 2 x 16-bit, or 1 x 32-bit
configurations; therefore, up to four cameras can be attached
to acquire four 8-bit or component RGB images. The board also
supports multi-tap grabs (up to four taps). In addition, Matrox
Meteor-II /Digital accepts an external trigger, and can operate
in either asynchronous reset mode or next valid frame/field
mode.
Matrox Meteor-II /1394
Matrox Meteor-II /1394 is an IEEE 1394-to-PCI adapter board
that permits simplified, high-performance digital video capture
using a computer. This board is only available in a PCI form
factor.
Acquisition features Matrox Meteor-II /1394 supports the transfer of monochrome
or color digital video from cameras which are compliant with
the IEEE 1394 Digital Camera Specification (DCS). Note,
Matrox Meteor-II /1394 has three input ports which can be used
for image acquisition.
