Connecting video input devices

Most Matrox frame grabbers designed for Matrox 4Sight-M have a custom video input connector that attaches directly to the motherboard, which in turn, is hard-wired to the video input connector, on the back side of the unit. Therefore, you can interface a camera with the frame grabber by connecting the camera to your unit’s video input connector.

Two exceptions to this are Matrox Meteor-II /Digital and Meteor-II /Camera Link for PC/104-Plus:

You must connect video sources to Matrox Meteor-II /Digital through the frame grabber’s two digital video input connectors, Digial Video in 1 and 2, located on the back side of the unit.

You must connect video sources to Matrox Meteor-II /Camera Link to the Camera Link input connectors, located on the back side of the unit.

Note that if you purchase additional frame grabbers for your unit, the video input connector of your frame grabber will not interface directly with the motherboard. Therefore, you will have to connect your cameras directly to the additional frame grabbers. Refer to Chapter 3: Adding devices to the Matrox 4Sight-M motherboard for information on installing additional frame grabbers to your unit, and refer to your frame grabber’s installation guide for cabling and pinout information.
