Technical information

This appendix contains information that might be useful when installing your Matrox Meteor-II /Digital board.

Global information

■Operating system: See your software manual for supported versions of Windows1.

■System requirements: A computer with a PCI bus and a Pentium processor or equivalent.

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 430HX, 430VX, 430TX, 440FX, 440LX, or 440BX. If you need more specific information regarding potential problems, refer to Appendix A - Troubleshooting.

❐Available with a RS-422 or LVDS interface.

❐Supports multi-tap acquisition: up to four 8-bit inputs, or two 16-bit inputs.

❐Accepts an external trigger input and can operate in next valid frame/field mode or asynchronous reset mode.

❐Features four 256 8-bit lookup tables that include three different configurations:
