66 Chapter 4: Matrox Solios hardware reference
Matrox Solios eCL/XCL-B has auxiliary/camera control signals in the following
formats:
Matrox Solios eCL/XCL dual-Base/single-Medium in dual-Base mode has
auxiliary/camera control signals in the following formats:
Matrox Solios eCL/XCL dual-Base/single-Medium in single-Medium mode and
Matrox Solios eCL/XCL-F have auxiliary/camera control signals in the following
formats:
Note that the opto-isolated signals pass through an opto-coupler, a device that
protects the board from outside surges and different ground levels, and allows the
frame grabber to be totally isolated.

1. This is the number of auxiliary signals available when using the DB-15 auxiliary I/O connector; if replaced with the optional
DB-9 connector from the SOLCLBACCxxPAK accessory kit, less auxiliary signals are available (see the pinout of the auxiliary
I/O connector in Appendix B: Technical information).
