Matrox Meteor-II for PC/104-Plus frame
grabbers
There are two types of Matrox Meteor-II for PC/104-Plus frame
grabbers that can be used with Matrox 4Sight. They are:
■ The Matrox Meteor-II /Standard frame grabber for
PC/104-Plus.
■ The Matrox Meteor-II /Multi-Channel frame grabber for
PC/104-Plus.
Each of the above boards can be expanded with a Matrox
Meteor-II MJPEG module that is specifically designed for the
PC/104-Plus form factor; this module performs MJPEG/JPEG
compression and decompression of monochrome and color
images.
The Matrox Meteor-II frame grabbers for PC/104-Plus are
compliant with PC/104-Plus
Specification Version 1.1.
This chapter provides an overview of the pre-installed version
of Matrox Meteor-II. Stand-alone versions of these boards are
described in their accompanying documentation. It should be
noted that the Matrox Meteor-II boards that accompany the
Matrox 4Sight integrated unit differ slightly in their structure
from their stand-alone counterparts. The stand-alone version
of the Matrox Meteor-II PC/104-Plus boards have a video input
connector that lies in the same plane as the board, while the
version that accompanies the Matrox 4Sight integrated unit
lies in a plane perpendicular to the board. The latter allows the
Meteor-II board to be hardwired to the input connector of the
Matrox 4Sight unit; as such, it can only be used as the first
board in the PC/104-Plus stack on the Matrox 4Sight unit.
