Camera Link Module

Matrox Imaging has added to the acquisition capabilities of the 4Sight-II industrial computer with the release of the Meteor-II/Camera Link module for PC/104-Plus.

The module provides a standard connection to digital imaging devices that use the Camera Link interface specification.

Through a flexible design, this module supports one, two or four tap monochrome, as well as component RGB, area or line scan video sources.

With acquisition rates up to 50 MHz, a configurable LUT (four 256 x 8 bit and two 4 K x 12 bit) and trigger input and timer outputs, the Meteor-II/Camera Link module features a 32 bit, 33 MHz PCI bus master interface, real-time transfer to system or VGA memory and onboard buffering (32 MB) for reliable capture.

This module also supports packed or planar transfers of colour or multiple monochrome streams.
