Matrox Solios eCL/XCL-B ® Entry-level Camera Link frame grabber. Cost-optimized and value-packed design Key features ® The Matrox Solios eCL/XCL-B is a Camera Link frame grabber for cost sensitive ® ® ® ® ® applications. Its acquisition capabilities and PCI Express (PCIe ) or PCI-X bus PCIe x1 (eCL) or PCI-X (XCL) low 1 profile half-length card interface make the Matrox Solios eCL/XCL-B an excellent match for entry-level ® cameras. handles one Base Camera Link 2, 3 configuration provides PoCL (Power over Camera ® ® Link ) with SafePower Versatile Camera Link interface ® Matrox Solios eCL/XCL-B operates as a single-Base Camera Link frame grabber 4 acquires at up to 85 MHz ® featuring Power over Camera Link (PoCL) with SafePower. With an acquisition speed 4 3 of up to 85 MHz and multi-tap support including complete image reconstruction , the 64 MB acquisition buffer Matrox Solios eCL/XCL-B is able to handle the most popular entry-level industrial or scientific area and line scan cameras. It can also transparently convert between captures from frame and line scan cameras monochrome and packaged/planar RGB color spaces enabling optimum representation of image data for processing and/or display freeing valuable host resources. performs complete image reconstruction from multi-tap 3 cameras serial communication port mapped Choice of high-performance host bus interfaces as PC COM port ® ® One lane PCIe (x1) and PCI-X are the interfaces used to connect to the host PC support for rotary encoders with on the Matrox Solios eCL-B and Matrox Solios XCL-B frame grabber boards quadrature output ® ® ® respectively. PCIe is the follow-on to conventional PCI and PCI-X whereas PCI-X ® programmed using Matrox Imaging is a backwards-compatible enhancement to conventional PCI. Both the PCIe x1 and Library (MIL) sold separately ® PCI-X implementations offers the right balance of performance and cost. ® supports 32/64-bit Microsoft ® ® Windows XP/Vista /7 and 32/64-bit ® Linux / / / / / / / / / / / / / Matrox Solios eCL/XCL-B UART 32/64/128 MB DDR 2 SDRAM Serial Tx 2 LVDS Serial Rx 32 Buffers PSG #1 8 (up to 800 MB/s) Camera Control MDR26 8 28-bit Color Data TM 24 3 x 8-bit ChannelLink 2 or 24 Space Clock Receiver 1 x 12-bit Converter LUTs (up to 255 MB/s) Video to 3 TTL PCI-X Aux.
