56 Appendix B: Technical information
Board summary
Matrox Rapixo CXP is a family of high-performance PCIe frame grabbers that
support image capture from high-resolution, high-speed video sources that use
the CoaXPress (CXP) communication standard. The Pro model of the board also
comes with FPGA-based processing-offload capabilities (a Processing FPGA).
There are two versions of the base model: Quad CXP-6 and Quad CXP-12 and
one version of the Pro model: Pro Quad CXP-12.
Global information
• Operating system: See your software manual for supported versions of Microsoft
Windows and Linux.
• Minimum computer requirements:
- x8 (or x16)
*
PCIe 2.x slot (for Quad CXP-6) or 3.x slot (for Quad CXP-12/
Pro Quad CXP-12).
- Processor with an Intel 64-bit architecture, or equivalent.
- A relatively up-to-date PCIe chipset. A chipset that supports the PCIe 2.x/3.x
standard is preferable. The list of platforms that are known to be compatible
with Matrox Rapixo CXP is available on the Matrox website, under the board’s
PC compatibility list.
- A proper power supply. Refer to the Electrical specifications section.
Matrox does not guarantee compatibility with all computers that have the above
specifications. Please consult with your local Matrox Imaging representative, local
Matrox Imaging sales office, the Matrox web site, or the Matrox Imaging
Customer Support Group at headquarters before using a specific computer.
*. Note that you can also install Matrox Rapixo CXP in a x4 PCIe slot that has a
mechanical x8 connector or an open-ended x4 connector; however, the maximum
transfer rate between Matrox Rapixo CXP and the Host is reduced by 50%.
