Installing the software
To install any Matrox imaging software, place its CD in the
appropriate drive; the setup.exe file will run automatically.
While installing the software, you will be asked to provide the
following information:
The drive and directory in which to install the software.
The target operating system and compiler.
The type of Matrox hardware that is installed in your
computer.
If you have an MGA board, check the MGA control panel to
ensure that you have the latest display driver installed. If
you do not have the latest, install the display driver that is
on the CD.
After installation, read the readme file(s) recommended by the
installation program.
Note about Matrox Intellicam
MIL-Lite uses digitizer configuration formats (DCFs) to
configure the camera interface on Matrox digitizers. The DCF
defines, among other things, the video timing signals and the
video data format. Matrox Intellicam can be used to create or
customize a DCF file, if the supplied files do not include one
that matches your video source. Note that Matrox Meteor-II
/Standard and /1394 only accept standard input formats;
therefore, you can only use the predefined DCFs.
For more information about Matrox Intellicam, refer to the
Matrox Intellicam User Guide.
