Matrox Solios eA/XA Cost-effective analog frame grabber. Cost-optimized and value-packed design Key features The Matrox Solios eA/XA frame grabber strikes a perfect balance between functionality ® ® ® and cost. Its high fidelity analog acquisition capabilities and high-performance PCI PCIe x1 or PCIe x4 (eA), or PCI-X ® ® ® (XA) card Express (PCIe ) or PCI-X bus interface make the Matrox Solios eA/XA a good match for mainstream cameras and the right choice for cost sensitive applications. up to four fully independent inputs High fidelity analog acquisition 10-bit A/D converters Matrox Solios eA/XA has up to four completely independent inputs for high fidelity video capture. In addition to being able to simultaneously acquire from up to four single- sampling rate up to 65 MHz output video sources, the inputs can be combined to simultaneously acquire from two video synchronization and PLL lock dual-output video sources or one RGB video source. Each input of the Matrox Solios eA/ detection XA features circuitry to monitor the presence of a video (synchronization) signal and status of the phase-locked loop. The Matrox Solios eA/XA can also transparently convert 64 MB acquisition buffer between monochrome and packed/planar RGB color spaces enabling the optimum serial communication ports mapped representation of image data for processing and/or display. as PC COM ports programmed using Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) sold separately Choice of high-performance bus interfaces ® ® ® Four lane PCIe (x4) and PCI-X are the interfaces used to connect to the host PC on supports 32/64-bit Microsoft ® ® ® Windows XP/Vista /7 and 32/64-bit the Matrox Solios eA and Matrox Solios XA boards respectively. PCIe is the follow-on ® Linux ® ® to conventional PCI and PCI-X . Version 1.x of PCIe operates at 2.5 GHz to deliver a ® peak bandwidth of 1GB/sec over a x4 implementation. PCI-X is a high-performance ® backwards-compatible enhancement to conventional PCI. Version 1.0a of PCI-X specifies a 64-bit physical connection running at speeds of up to 133 MHz resulting in a peak bandwidth of up to 1 GB per second. / / / / / / / / / / / / / / Matrox Solios eA/XA Variable Video In 1a 10 10 7.5 or 33 MHz 10-bit 1024 x 10-bit 2:1 MUX offset & low-pass filter LUTs Video In 1b gain A/D 2 Clock In (LVDS/TTL) (1) 2 Hsync/Csync In (LVDS/TTL) (1) 2 Vsync In (LVDS/TTL) (1) PSG #1 UART Trigger (TTL) Exposure (TTL) Rx Tx 64/128/256 MB DDR SDRAM Video In 1a 10 64 Channel #1 (up to 1.3/1.6 GB/s) Video In 2a DVI Connector Color Video In 3a 10 Space Channel #2 Video In 4a Converter Video Video In 1b 10 to Channel #3 PCI-X Video In 2b DVI Connector bridge Video In 3b 10 Channel #4 Video In 4b 64 16 Aux.
