Matrox Radient eCL acquisition section 35
Matrox Radient eCL acquisition section
Matrox Radient eCL can capture video from digital video sources compliant with
the Camera Link specification. Matrox Radient eCL can provide power over
Camera Link to attached video sources.
Matrox Radient eCL supports monochrome, RGB color, and Bayer color-encoded
acquisition. Matrox Radient eCL can decode Bayer color-encoded images
on-board if the selected Processing FPGA configuration supports Bayer color
decoding and the decoding supports the image size and depth; the standard FPGA
configuration supports Bayer color decoding. Besides standard Camera Link video
sources, Matrox Radient eCL also supports additional types of video sources,
including some time-multiplexed video sources and 10-tap 8-bit video sources.
Matrox Radient eCL-DB has two independent acquisition paths in dual-Base
mode, and Matrox Radient eCL-QB has four independent acquisition paths in
quad-Base mode. Matrox Radient eCL-SF has one acquisition path in single-Full
or single-Medium mode, and Matrox Radient eCL-DF has two acquisition paths
in single-Full or single-Medium mode.
Each acquisition path can grab at Camera Link frequencies of 20 MHz to
85 MHz. Each acquisition path has its own programmable synchronization
generator (PSG), and can have a different acquisition rate.
The acquisition section of Matrox Radient eCL supports a comprehensive set of
general purpose I/O and serial ports to control cameras and other devices.
