Consult the document provided with your cable for the color-coding of the wires.
*OPTOTRIG- is usually connected to the ground of the trigger source.
Connect the supplied BNC-TO SVHS adaptor cables to the
DBHD44-TO-13BNC cable for Y/C input. The PCI form factor supports up to
six Y/C sources, and the CompactPCI form factor supports up to three.
Connecting Matrox Meteor-II /Standard for PCI to other boards
The VMChannel interface allows the transfer of data to other Matrox boards.
Insert a VMChannel backplane (available with the interconnect kit) across the
VMChannel interface to connect the boards. Note that when connecting multiple
Matrox boards, at least one of the boards must be a bus-controller.
Matrox Meteor-II cannot be a bus-controller.

The VMChannel is not supported on the CompactPCI and the PC/104-
