Chapter 1: Introduction

This chapter briefly describes the features of Matrox

Meteor.

8 Chapter 1: Introduction

Matrox Meteor

Matrox Meteor is a single-slot, monochrome and color PCI

frame grabber. It features real-time transfers to off-board

system or display RAM (depending on the system and VGA

board used) and provides support for live video-in-a-window.

You can use the Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) or any of its

derivatives to program Matrox Meteor.

Matrox Meteor comes in four versions:

■Matrox Meteor, a standard monochrome and color frame

grabber.

■Matrox Meteor/PPB, a standard monochrome and color

frame grabber with an integrated PCI-to-PCI bridge.

■Matrox Meteor/RGB, an RGB color frame grabber.

■Matrox Meteor/PPB/RGB, an RGB color frame grabber with

an integrated PCI-to-PCI bridge.

❖Note, when a reference is made to Matrox Meteor or Matrox

Meteor/RGB, the information that follows also applies to the

version of these boards that includes the integrated

PCI-to-PCI bridge.

Acquisition

Matrox Meteor boards have standard monochrome and color

acquisition capabilities. They accept RS-170/CCIR

monochrome video signals and NTSC/PAL color video signals

in either a composite or Y/C (S-Video or S-VHS) format. They

have four software-selectable video input channels for

interfacingwithuptofourvideosources.Furthermore,foreasy

signal calibration, they support programmable brightness,

contrast, hue, and saturation.

Meteor/RGB boards provide support for component RGB

acquisition, with independent gain and offset controls for each

channel. They support all of Meteor’s input capabilities, except

for color video signals in Y/C format. This capability has been

exchanged for support of a synchronous trigger input (by way

of the Y/C connector).

For added flexibility, the Meteor/RGB frame grabber can

simultaneously grab from up to three standard monochrome

video sources, provided the sources are genlocked.In this case,

data is packed (consecutive pixels belong to different channels).
