protocol loading on the Host. By default, MIL automomatically enables jumbo
packets and selects optimal settings for the interrupt throttling rate and number
of receive buffers.
The Matrox Concord G-series boards come equipped with auto
medium-dependent interface crossover ports (MDIX) that can operate at all link
speeds (10, 100, and 1000 Mbps). MDIX ports simplify setup by automatically
detecting and using the appropriate connection type, eliminating the need for
cross-over cables.
Matrox Concord F-series
The Matrox Concord F-series boards are 1394 network adapter boards that,
through MIL, permit image acquisition from leading IEEE 1394 industrial
cameras that use the standard IIDC protocol. There are two versions of the F-series
boards: a conventional 32-bit PCI version called Matrox Concord FX, and a x1
PCIe version called Matrox Concord FE.
The Matrox Concord F-series boards have three IEEE 1394b input/output ports.
IEEE 1394a and 1394b cameras can be attached to any one or all three IEEE
1394b input ports, as long as the configuration of cameras comply with the IEEE
1394 tree topology. Matrox Concord FE can connect to and acquire from a
maximum of 8 cameras; Matrox Concord FX can connect to and acquire from a
maximum of 4 cameras. Note that the maximum number of cameras is also subject
to bandwidth limitations and maximum total power consumption.
