Frame grabbers Matrox Meteor-II/1394 IEEE 1394-to-PCI adapter board for digital video acquisition. Simplified, High-performance Digital Video Capture Matrox Meteor-II/1394 is an IEEE 1394-to-PCI adapter board for simplified, high-performance digital video capture using a PC. Connect a new generation of industrial/scientific video cameras to a PC using the industry standard IEEE 1394 serial link. Offering functionality equivalent to existing cameras, IEEE 1394-based cameras provide higher-quality video than their analog counterparts and simpler cabling than traditional digital cameras, making them ideal for machine vision, medical imaging and security applications. Matrox Meteor- II/1394, through Matrox Imaging Library (MIL), fully supports IEEE 1394 video cameras based on the IIDC Digital Camera Specification for companies such as Basler and Sony. Key features IEEE 1394 digital video three 400 Mbps IEEE 1394 ports The high speed IEEE 1394 digital serial link supports data transfer rates of 100, extensive FIFO for reliable capture to PC 200 and 400 Mbps, meeting the bandwidth demands of typical video resolutions and frame rates. It supports bi-directional communication for device control power for IEEE 1394 drawn directly from and transfer of device data such as video, as well as provides support for two PC power supply types of data transfer modes depending on the nature of the data. Asynchronous supports IEEE 1394 video cameras based data transfer mode provides guaranteed delivery of control commands. on the IIDC Digital Camera Specification Isochronous data transfer mode provides guaranteed bandwidth for time- using Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) critical data such as live video. programmed using Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) sold separately IEEE 1394 simplifies camera interfacing with a standard connector and cable ® ® supports 32/64-bit Microsoft Windows design that provides video transmission, camera control and power to the ® XP/Vista through MIL camera over a single cable. There is no need to use a specialized frame grabber that requires custom cables and software drivers. IEEE 1394 to PCI Ordering Information Matrox Meteor-II/1394 adapter board provides three external ® 6-pin IEEE 1394 ports. It is based on a Texas Instruments' Hardware chipset which integrates a deep FIFO for reliable video capture Part number Description and transfer over the PCI bus. Power supplied through the IEEE 1394 connector is drawn directly from the PC power METEOR2-1394 Matrox Meteor-II IEEE 1394-to-PCI supply and not the PCI slot. adapter board.
