Matrox Solios eA/XA Cost-effective analog frame grabber. Cost-optimized and value-packed design Key features PCIe® x1 or PCIe® x4 (eA), or PCI-X® (XA) card up to four fully independent inputs 10-bit A/D converters sampling rate up to 65 MHz video synchronization and PLL lock detection 64 MB acquisition buffer serial communication ports mapped as PC COM ports programmed using Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) sold separately supports 32/64-bit Microsoft® Windows® XP/Vista®/7 and 32/64-bit Linux® The Matrox Solios eA/XA frame grabber strikes a perfect balance between functionality and cost. Its high fidelity analog acquisition capabilities and high-performance PCI Express® (PCIe®) or PCI-X® bus interface make the Matrox Solios eA/XA a good match for mainstream cameras and the right choice for cost sensitive applications. High fidelity analog acquisition Matrox Solios eA/XA has up to four completely independent inputs for high fidelity video capture. In addition to being able to simultaneously acquire from up to four singleoutput video sources, the inputs can be combined to simultaneously acquire from two dual-output video sources or one RGB video source. Each input of the Matrox Solios eA/ XA features circuitry to monitor the presence of a video (synchronization) signal and status of the phase-locked loop. The Matrox Solios eA/XA can also transparently convert between monochrome and packed/planar RGB color spaces enabling the optimum representation of image data for processing and/or display. Choice of high-performance bus interfaces Four lane PCIe® (x4) and PCI-X® are the interfaces used to connect to the host PC on the Matrox Solios eA and Matrox Solios XA boards respectively. PCIe® is the follow-on to conventional PCI and PCI-X®. Version 1.x of PCIe® operates at 2.5 GHz to deliver a peak bandwidth of 1GB/sec over a x4 implementation. PCI-X® is a high-performance backwards-compatible enhancement to conventional PCI. Version 1.0a of PCI-X® specifies a 64-bit physical connection running at speeds of up to 133 MHz resulting in a peak bandwidth of up to 1 GB per second.

Matrox Solios eA/XA * Present on a separate bracket low-pass filter Field-proven application development software Matrox SoLios eA/XA is supported by the Matrox Imaging Library (MIL), a comprehensive collection of software tools for developing industrial imaging applications. MIL features interactive software and programming functions for image capture, processing, analysis, annotation, display and archiving. These tools are designed to enhance productivity, thereby reducing the time and effort required to bring your solution to market. Refer to the MIL datasheet for more information.
