114 Chapter 10: Matrox Meteor-II for Matrox 4Sight
Performance The video timing parameters supported by the Matrox
Meteor-II /Standard board are as follows:
Input channels
Matrox Meteor-II /Standard for PC/104-Plus can switch
between up to twelve independent composite or six Y/C video
sources.
You can only acquire data from one video source at a time. You
can use the MIL-Lite MdigChannel() command to switch
between video sources (or channels).
Low-pass filter
The input low-pass filtering stage is used to limit high
frequency noise and aliasing effects at the input of the decoder.
The filter used on Matrox Meteor-II /Standard for PC/104-Plus
is a single-order filter with a cutoff frequency of 6 MHz.
Video decoder
A multi-standard video decoder is used to convert analog
monochrome video in RS-170/CCIR format, or composite
(CVBS) or component (Y/C) video in NTSC/PAL format to
digitized video. The decoder supports RGB 8:8:8 (24-bit),
RGB 5:6:5, YUV 4:2:2, and YUV 4:1:1 output pixel formats.
Note that YUV 4:2:2 output pixel formats are grabbed as YUYV.
