Matrox Concord Family of Gigabit Ethernet NICs and IEEE 1394b adaptors. Digital video interface cards for industrial imaging Key features Matrox Concord is a family of Gigabit Ethernet network interface cards (NICs) and IEEE ® 1394b adaptors that are pre-licensed for use with the Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) PCIe x1 or conventional 32-bit PCI ® low-profile card drivers for the GigE Vision and IEEE 1394 IIDC protocols. The Matrox Concord family offers a long and stable life cycle, which eliminates the burden associated with sourcing lifecycle managed and long term availability and qualifying consumer-grade boards. ® GigE Vision or IIDC support through Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) Support for established interface standards pre-licensed for use with MIL GigE The Matrox Concord G-series are Gigabit Ethernet NICs that provide optimum support ® Vision or IIDC drivers ® for the GigE Vision camera interface standard. By way of MIL, these NICs are optimally ® configured to minimize GigE Vision protocol loading on the host through the default pre-configured for optimal GigE ® Vision performance (G-series) enabling of jumbo packets as well as optimal settings for the interrupt throttling rate and number of receive buffers. Unlike generic NICs, using the Matrox Concord fingerprint for, and storage of, supplemental MIL run-time G-series with MIL does not require manually adjusting advanced driver properties. 1 license(s) Auto medium-dependent interface crossover (MDIX) further simplifies setup by programmed using Matrox Imaging automatically detecting and crossing over signals for peer-to-peer connections thereby Library (MIL) sold separately eliminating the need for special cables. ® supports 32/64-bit Microsoft ® ® ®2 Windows XP/Vista /7 and Linux The Matrox Concord F-series are IEEE 1394b adaptors that, through MIL, enable the through MIL use of leading IEEE 1394 industrial cameras implementing the standard IIDC protocol. 3 These adaptors, by way of MIL, support up to the S400 and S800 modes of IEEE 1394a and 1394b respectively, ensuring maximum camera performance and minimal transfer latency. In addition, the use of bilingual copper connectivity permits for cost-effective cabling.
