Matrox Intellicam
Matrox Intellicam is an interactive Windows program that allows for fast video
source interfacing and provides interactive access to all the acquisition features of
your Matrox board. Matrox Intellicam also has the ability to create custom digitizer
configuration format (DCF) files, which MIL and its derivatives use to interface
to specific non-standard video sources. Matrox Intellicam is included with all
Matrox Imaging software products.
Essentials to get started
To begin using your Matrox Radient eV-CXP, you must have a computer with
the following:
• An available conventional x8 (or x16) PCIe 1.x or 2.x slot
*
. Note that a PCIe 2.x
slot will ensure the fastest possible transfer of data to the Host.
• Processor with an Intel 32-bit or 64-bit architecture, or equivalent.
• A relatively up-to-date PCIe chipset. A chipset that supports the PCIe 2.x standard
is preferable. The list of platforms that are known to be compatible with Matrox
Radient eV-CXP is available on the Matrox website, under the board’s PC
compatibility list.
• MIL or one of its derivatives. This software should be installed after you install
your board.
Matrox does not guarantee compatibility with all computers that have the above
specifications. Please consult with your local Matrox Imaging representative, local
Matrox Imaging sales office, the Matrox web site, or the Matrox Imaging
Customer Support Group at headquarters before using a specific computer.
Consult your software package for other computer requirements (for example,
operating system and memory requirements).
*. Note that you can also install Matrox Radient eV-CXP in a x4 PCIe slot that has a
mechanical x8 connector; however, the maximum transfer rate between Matrox
Radient eV-CXP and the Host is reduced by 50%.
