50 Chapter 4: Using multiple Matrox Meteor-II boards

If you are installing an additional Matrox Meteor-II board on Matrox 4Sight, the module already installed has the setting fixed at 0; therefore, the setting of the additional module must be at a setting other than 0 or 4.

Grabbing simultaneously from different boards

You can simultaneously grab images from cameras attached to different Matrox Meteor-II boards. To grab at exactly the same time, the cameras must be genlocked (synchronized) and their corresponding digitizer configuration formats must be the same. Note that this restriction does not apply to Matrox Meteor-II /1394

The number of cameras from which you can simultaneously grab is determined by the PCI bandwidth available in your computer.
