February 13, 2002, Birmingham, U.K. – As announced today at IPOT 2002, Matrox Imaging is further adding to the acquisition capabilities of its 4Sight-II industrial computer with the new Meteor-II/Camera Link module for PC/104-Plus. This module provides a simple standard connection to digital imaging devices that use the Camera Link interface specification.

Through a flexible design, this module supports one, two or four tap monochrome, as well as component RGB, area or line scan video sources. With acquisition rates up to 50 MHz, a configurable LUT (four 256 x 8-bit and two 4K x 12-bit) and trigger input and timer outputs, the Meteor-II/Camera Link module for 4Sight-II features a 32-bit, 33 MHz PCI bus master interface, real-time transfer to system or VGA memory and extensive on-board buffering (32 MB) for reliable capture. This module also supports packed or planar transfers of color or multiple monochrome streams.

The Meteor-II/Camera Link adds to the 4Sight-II's already extensive collection of optional frame grabber modules, including the Orion/Standard, Orion/RGB and Orion/Dual, as well as the Meteor-II/Multi-Channel and Meteor-II/Digital frame grabbers for PC/104-Plus.

The Meteor-II/Camera Link for 4Sight-II module option is currently available.
