September 1, 2005, Montreal, Canada - Today Matrox Imaging announced that the Matrox Iris P-Series family of programmable smart cameras is available in remote head configurations. This two-piece design, by way of MDR26 connectors, uses a standard Camera Link™ cable to connect a remote head to a processor unit. "The compactness of the remote head allows it to easily fit into small spaces and offers a lot of flexibility when mounting it to your equipment," explains Fabio Perelli, Product Manager for Matrox Imaging.

The Matrox Iris P-Series family is powered by an Ultra Low Power (ULP) Celeron®, an embedded Intel® architecture processor. It runs the Windows® CE .NET real-time operating system and is programmed using Microsoft® eMbedded Visual® C++. OEMs and integrators can develop their applications with the Matrox Imaging Library (MIL), the industry's ultimate toolbox for image processing solutions, and run them directly on Matrox Iris P-Series.
