Matrox Meteor-II boards
Matrox Meteor-II comes in four versions: Matrox Meteor-II
/Standard, Matrox Meteor-II /Multi-Channel, Matrox
Meteor-II /Digital, and Matrox Meteor-II /1394. Some of these
boards are available in different form factors, namely PCI,
CompactPCI, and PC/104-Plus. All boards and form factors
support real time image transfer to Host memory, and can be
programmed with the Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) or any of
its derivatives.
Matrox Meteor-II /Standard
Matrox Meteor-II /Standard is a standard monochrome and
color analog frame grabber. This board is available in a PCI,
PC/104-Plus, or CompactPCI (3U) form factor, all of which can
use a Matrox Meteor-II MJPEG module for compression and
decompression of monochrome and color images.
