Matrox Solios Family

Matrox Solios is a family of cost-effective frame grabbers for analog, Camera Link® and GigE Vision® image acquisition based on high-performance PCIe® / PCI-X® interfaces. An optional, customizable FPGA-based processing core is available to off-load image processing tasks.

Matrox Solios eV-CL

Matrox Solios eV-CL is a value-packed PCIe® x4 frame grabber that supports the full-range of Camera Link® interfaces (dual-Base, single Medium/Full, 10-tap and PoCL) and offloads typical pixel pre-processing tasks.

Benefits
  • perform deterministic image acquisition by way of the jitter-free Camera Link® interface
  • eliminate missed frames through a PCIe® x4 host interface and ample on-board buffering
  • use the most high-performance cameras with available support for 10-taps (eV-CLF/CLFL) at 70 MHz
  • employ a single board for area and line scan, monochrome and color (Bayer, RGB and tri-linear) acquisition
  • optimize multi-camera applications via support for two independent cameras per board (eV-CLB/CLBL)
  • minimize space requirements and maximize PC compatibility through a half-length design with mini Camera Link® connectivity (eV-CLB/CLF) for true single slot operation
  • reduce system cabling and eliminate camera power supplies by way of Power over Camera Link® (PoCL) support (eV-CLB/CLBL)
  • free valuable host CPU resources by offloading pre-processing tasks: Bayer interpolation (eV-CLB/CLBL), color space conversion and look-up tables
  • reduce development and validation costs through a managed lifecycle offering consistent long term availability
  • implement image capture with ease and confidence using Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) application development toolkit
  • maintain flexibility and choice by way of 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft® Windows® XP/Vista®, Windows® 7 and Linux® support
