44Appendix B: Technical information

Technical information

This appendix contains information that might be useful when installing your

Matrox Meteor-II /Camera Link board.

Global information

•Operating system: See your software manual for supported versions of Microsoft Windows.

•System requirements: A computer with a PCI bus and an Intel Pentium processor (or equivalent) or better.

Some older systems use a core logic chipset (interfaces PCI with Host memory) that has limited throughput capabilities. Matrox Meteor-II might not be able to attain full functionality on such systems. We recommend systems with newer PCI chipsets, such as the Intel 440BX, 810, 815E, 820, 840, or 850. If you need more specific information regarding potential problems, refer to Appendix A - Troubleshooting.

•Technical features:

-Compliant with Camera Link Specification.

-Supports data acquisition rate of up to 50 MHz.

-Simultaneously captures from two monochrome or one monochrome and one RGB video sources.

-Supports area or line scan video sources.

-Supports single, dual, and four-tap acquisition.

-Features four 8K X 8-bit lookup tables that can be operated as four 8-bit LUTs, two 10-bit LUTs, or two 12-bit LUTs.

-Features 32 Mbytes of video transfer memory.

-Features 32-bit non bus-controller VMChannel interface.
