source interfacing and provides interactive access to all the acquisition features of
your Matrox board. Matrox Intellicam also has the ability to create custom digitizer

Essentials to get started
To begin using Matrox Solios, you must have a computer with the following:
• An available conventional PCIe, PCI, or PCI-X slot.
❖ Note that only Matrox Solios eCL, eA, and GigE support a PCIe slot, and it
should be a x4 or x8 PCIe slot. For Matrox Solios eCL-B or eA Single, it can
also be a x1 slot.
• Processor with an Intel 32-bit architecture (IA32) or equivalent.
• A relatively up-to-date PCIe/PCI/PCI-X chipset. The list of platforms that are
known to be compatible with Matrox Solios are available on the Matrox website,
under the board’s PC compatibility list.
Consult your software package for other computer requirements (for example,
operating system and memory requirements).
