Using the auxiliary power supply
Matrox Meteor-II /Multi-Channel can supply power to your
camera. Use the 4-pin power cable provided with your board to
connect to the power supply of your computer. The operating
voltage can be set to either 5 V or 12 V, but the current drawn
by all cameras is limited to 1.5 A. The circuit uses an
auto-resettable fuse. For further information on connecting to
the auxiliary power supply connector, see the section,
Connecting Matrox Meteor-II /Multi-Channel to the auxiliary
power supply input in Chapter 2, and Appendix B. Note that
this input is not available on the CompactPCI and PC/104-Plus
form factors.
Matrox Meteor-II /Digital grab section
The grab section of the Matrox Meteor-II /Digital board
captures video from standard and non-standard digital
cameras. It supports component RGB, as well as monochrome
acquisition, in single or multi-tap configurations. Up to four
genlocked cameras can be attached to acquire four 8-bit or two
16-bit inputs.
The board is available in two versions to support either the
RS-422 or the LVDS interface, but is available for the PCI form
factor only.
