14 Chapter 1: Introduction
Acquisition features Matrox Meteor-II /Digital can acquire digital video from standard and non-standard cameras using the RS-422 or LVDS differential signed format. It supports image acquisition from genlocked cameras in 4 x 8-bit, 2 x 16-bit, or 1 x 32-bit configurations; therefore, up to four cameras can be attached to acquire four 8-bit or component RGB images. The board also supports multi-tap grabs (up to four taps). In addition, Matrox Meteor-II /Digital accepts an external trigger, and can operate in either asynchronous reset mode or next valid frame/field mode.
