Matrox Nexis ties it all together: Matrox Imaging offers complete vision platform

April 3, 2006, Montreal, Canada - Matrox Imaging is pleased to announce the Matrox Nexis, a highly integrated image acquisition sub-system. Featuring two remote camera heads combined with a dual camera control unit (CCU) and frame grabber on a single PC/104-Plus™ card, Matrox Nexis is intended for use and sold with the Matrox 4Sight M industrial vision computer. "By leveraging the 4Sight M technology, customers benefit from deploying a complete imaging system from a single vendor," explains Fabio Perelli, Product Manager.

Matrox Nexis supports simultaneous acquisition from two camera heads, which are available in a compact or ultra-compact body. The camera heads make use of interline transfer progressive-scan CCD image sensors with square pixels; the family of available sensors includes support for sub to megapixel resolutions, higher readout or frame rates, and monochrome or color imaging. Matrox 4Sight M can accommodate up to two Matrox Nexis sub-systems for simultaneous acquisition from up to four independent camera heads.
