Digital Visual Interface (DVI). The Matrox 4Sight-II integrates a DVI port for interfacing to a digital flat panel as your secondary display. The flat panel display device should have a cable/adapter assembly that complies with the Digital Display Working Group’s high bandwidth, video interface/DVI standard.

Display. Display capabilities are provided via the GMHC 855GME chip. The 855GME has built-in circuitry to display images on a high-resolution monitor, analog flat panel, or TV. It also supports digital visual interface (DVI) compliant digital VGA output, to display images on a digital display device. In addition, it supports 32-bit (true-color) non-destructive graphics overlay onto live video, for a completely true-color display. The 855GME is capable of output to one or two display devices.

PC/104-Plus interface. PC/104-Plusis a standard stackable form factor for the

PCI bus. It provides access to Matrox frame grabbers for PC/104-Plusand other third-party PC/104-Plusboards. Note that this interface does not provide access

to PC/104 boards. Also, the PC/104-Plusinterface on the Matrox 4Sight-M does not tolerate 5 V signalling (use only 3.3 V signalling).

Auxiliary I/O interface. The auxiliary I/O interface is composed of 16 independent user-defined sink-driver output signals and 16 independent user-defined input signals. These user-defined signals can be used to control digital signals to and from external devices.

Networking. The Matrox 4Sight-M motherboard integrates a standard 10/100BaseT Ethernet interface, as well as a Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) interface.

Other I/O interfaces. Matrox 4Sight-M includes:

-One internal connector for a parallel port, one RS-232 port, and one RS-232/RS-422/RS-485-selectable serial port.

-One stereo audio input and one stereo audio output connector.

-Four USB 2.0 interfaces to connect a USB keyboard, mouse, and printer.
