Matrox Solios eCL/XCL-B Entry-level Camera Link® frame grabber. Cost-optimized and value-packed design Key features PCIe x1 (eCL) or PCI-X (XCL) low profile1 half-length card ® ® handles one Base Camera Link® configuration2, 3 provides PoCL (Power over Camera Link®) with SafePower acquires at up to 85 MHz4 64 MB acquisition buffer captures from frame and line scan cameras performs complete image reconstruction from multi-tap cameras3 serial communication port mapped as PC COM port support for rotary encoders with quadrature output 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 eCL/XCL-B is a Camera Link® frame grabber for cost sensitive applications. Its acquisition capabilities and PCI Express® (PCIe®) or PCI-X® bus interface make the Matrox Solios eCL/XCL-B an excellent match for entry-level cameras. Versatile Camera Link® interface Matrox Solios eCL/XCL-B operates as a single-Base Camera Link® frame grabber featuring Power over Camera Link® (PoCL) with SafePower. With an acquisition speed of up to 85 MHz4 and multi-tap support including complete image reconstruction3, the Matrox Solios eCL/XCL-B is able to handle the most popular entry-level industrial or scientific area and line scan cameras. It can also transparently convert between monochrome and packaged/planar RGB color spaces enabling optimum representation of image data for processing and/or display freeing valuable host resources. Choice of high-performance host bus interfaces One lane PCIe® (x1) and PCI-X® are the interfaces used to connect to the host PC on the Matrox Solios eCL-B and Matrox Solios XCL-B frame grabber boards respectively. PCIe® is the follow-on to conventional PCI and PCI-X® whereas PCI-X® is a backwards-compatible enhancement to conventional PCI. Both the PCIe® x1 and PCI-X® implementations offers the right balance of performance and cost.

Matrox Solios eCL/XCL-B Camera Control - PCIe'xl (eCL-B) Field-proven application development software Matrox Solios eCL/XCL-B 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.
