Matrox Solios eV-CL Value-packed Camera Link® frame grabber New level of value Key features perform deterministic image acquisition by way of the jitter-free Camera Link® interface eliminate missed frames through a PCIe® x4 host interface and ample on-board buffering use the most high-performance cameras with available support for 10-taps (eV-CLF/CLFL) at 70 MHz employ a single board for area and line scan, monochrome and color (Bayer, RGB and tri-linear) acquisition optimize multi-camera applications via support for two independent cameras per board with eV-CLB/CLBL minimize space requirements and maximize PC compatibility through a half-length design with mini Camera Link® connectivity (eV-CLB/CLF) for true single slot operation reduce system cabling and eliminate camera power supplies by way of Power over Camera Link® (PoCL) support (eV-CLB/CLBL) free valuable host CPU resources by offloading pre-processing tasks: Bayer interpolation (eV-CLB/CLBL), color space conversion and look-up tables reduce development and validation costs through a managed lifecycle offering consistent long term availability implement image capture with ease and confidence using Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) application development toolkit maintain flexibility and choice by way of 32-bit and 64-bit Windows® XP, Windows® Vista®, Windows® 7 and Linux® support Matrox Solios eV-CL ushers in a new level of value for Camera Link® frame grabbers. It provides connectivity to the most high-performance, multi-megapixel area and line scan Camera Link® cameras on the market augmented with onboard Bayer interpolation (eV-CLB/CLBL), color space conversions and look-up tables. The Matrox Solios eV-CL provides all these capabilities at the most attractive price point yet. Versatile Camera Link® Interface For field-proven, low-latency and deterministic acquisition, Camera Link® provides a scalable solution conceived specifically for machine vision applications. From cost-sensitive low data rate applications, to mainstream applications including color and right up to maximum bandwidth applications, Camera Link® is an excellent fit. The introduction of the mini Camera Link® connector (eV-CLB/CLF) has lead to compatibility with small footprint PCs by enabling two Base mode Camera Link® interfaces with triggering and general purpose I/O in a single slot. Even the most spaced-constrained systems can now support dual Base or single Medium/Full configurations. The Matrox Solios eV-CLB/CLBL is capable of simultaneously capturing from two completely independent Base Camera Link® cameras at up to 85 MHz. Fully supporting Power over Camera Link® (PoCL), the Matrox Solios eV-CLB/CLBL can reduce cabling complexity and eliminate the need for bulky and costly external camera power supplies. Alternatively the Matrox Solios eV-CLF/CLFL, capable of handling a single Full Camera Link® camera with up to 10-taps at 70 MHz, can acquire and reconstruct images from the most advanced multi-tap high-performance area and line scan cameras. High-performance host interface A PCIe® x4 host interface provides the throughput necessary to ensure the continuous flow of pixels from the Matrox Solios eV-CL to host memory. With a peak bandwidth of up to 1 GB/s, the Matrox Solios eV-CL’s host interface prevents pixels from inadvertently being discarded while the point-to-point connectivity of PCIe® stops other add-in devices from consuming valuable bandwidth between the frame grabber and the host PC.
