Matrox Solios Series - Acquisition with Matrox Solios GigE

18 Chapter 1: Introduction
Acquisition with Matrox Solios GigE
Matrox Solios GigE is an industrial Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) network interface card (NIC),
which is optimized to act as a high-performance GigE Vision frame grabber for
GigE Vision video sources.
It supports acquisition from up to four GigE Vision video
sources. A video source can be connected directly to one of the four
GigE-compliant Ethernet ports, or can be connected over an Ethernet network.
The Matrox Solios GigE supports the optional Processing FPGA.
Matrox Solios GigE is designed for use with 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T)
networks, however it will also function correctly with 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet
(100BASE-T) and 10 Mbps Ethernet (10BASE-T) networks. It is recommended
that you use Matrox Solios GigE with Gigabit Ethernet networks to ensure
maximum performance.
