Connecting a video input to Matrox Meteor-II /Camera Link for PCI

Connect video sources to the board’s Camera Link connectors, using the Camera Link cable, available from your camera manufacturer or from 3M Interconnect Solutions for Factory Automation. See Appendix B for the Camera Link connectors pinout.

Connecting Matrox Meteor-II /Camera Link for PCI to other boards

The VMChannel interface allows the transfer of data to other Matrox boards. Insert a VMChannel backplane (available with the interconnect kit) across the VMChannel interface to connect the boards. Note that when connecting multiple Matrox boards, at least one of the boards you are connecting must be bus-controller capable. Matrox Meteor-II is not bus-controller capable.

Matrox Meteor-II /Camera Link for PC/104-Plus

Matrox Meteor-II /Camera Link for PC/104-Plushas six connectors, which are indicated in the diagram below. Three of these connectors are located on the main board, and three are located on the extender board.

•Two Camera Link interface connectors (on extender board). Each connector is used to send camera control signals, receive video data and synchronization signals, and send/receive serial communication signals. This connector is discussed in detail in Appendix B.

•PC/104-Plus(PCI) connector. An interface connector to send data across the PCI bus.

•PC/104 (ISA) connectors. Two interface connectors to allow data to be sent between the ISA bus and other PC/104 or PC/104-Plus boards, stacked on top of the Matrox Meteor-II board.
