Matrox RadientPro CL

Matrox RadientPro CL is a family of high-performance PCIe frame grabbers that 
acquires images from Camera Link video sources and offers FPGA-based 
processing-offload capabilities. 

There are two Matrox RadientPro CL members: RadientPro CL-SF and 
RadientPro CL-DB. Matrox RadientPro CL-DB supports acquisition from two 
Camera Link video sources in Base configuration; Matrox RadientPro CL-SF 
supports acquisition from one Camera Link video source in Medium, Full, or 
80-bit configuration. 

Matrox RadientPro CL supports power-over Camera Link (PoCL) compliant 
video sources and Camera Link frequencies of 20 MHz to 85 MHz.

This manual refers to all Matrox RadientPro CL boards as Matrox RadientPro CL. 
When necessary, this manual distinguishes between the boards using their full 
names.
