Connecting to digital input signals

To interface video sources to a Matrox Meteor-II /Digital frame grabber (designed for Matrox 4Sight-M), use one or two VHDCI-TO-OPEN cables to connect to the unit’s digital video input connectors. These cables have a VHDCI connector on one side, and are open-ended on the other.

You can interface digital video sources to Matrox Meteor-II /Digital. To do so:

Connecting to other signals

1.Refer to the Technical reference appendix, for the pinout of the digital video input connectors on Matrox 4Sight-M.

2.Attach the open-ended side of the cable to connectors designed to interface with your cameras, and connect them to the cameras.

3.Attach the VHDCI connector to the digital video input connector "Digial video in 1" of Matrox 4Sight-M1.

4.Repeat the previous steps if you need to connect additional cameras to the bottom digital video input connector.

Units with Matrox Meteor-II /Camera Link

To interface video sources to Matrox Meteor-II /Camera Link, simply attach your cables to the Camera Link connectors on the Matrox 4Sight-M unit.

Other signals, such as special user input and output signals, can be accessed through the 44-pin video input ("Video in") connector of Matrox 4Sight-M. The pinout of the video input connector, found in the Technical reference appendix, contains a list of all the signals available for the interface. For customers planning to build their own cable, parts can be purchased from:
