16 Chapter 1: Introduction
• Auxiliary, multi-purpose signals. These are non-video signals that can support one
or more functionalities depending on the auxiliary signal (for example, trigger
input or timer output). The number of signals each board supports is given in the
table below.
• Integrated quadrature decoders (2 for Matrox Solios eV-CLB and eV-CLBL in
dual-Base configuration, 1 for Matrox Solios eV-CLB and eV-CLBL in
single-Medium configuration, and 1 for Matrox Solios eV-CLF and eV-CLFL).
These can decode input from a rotary encoder with quadrature output.
Data transfer
Under optimum conditions, Matrox Solios eV-CL can exchange data with the
Host at a peak transfer rate of up to 1 Gbyte/sec; the maximum achievable
bandwidth depends on the type of camera and digitizer configuration format
(DCF) used. Optimum conditions include using the board in a PCIe slot with 4
active lanes.

adapter bracket; if replaced with the optional DB-9 connector from the SOLEVAACC01PAK* accessory kit,
fewer auxiliary signals are available (see the pinout of the auxiliary I/O connector in
