Board summary
Global information
• Operating system: See your software manual for supported versions of Microsoft
Windows and Linux.
• Minimum computer requirements:
- x8 (or x16) PCIe 1.x or 2.x slot
*
.
- 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 RadientPro CL are available on the Matrox website, under the
board’s PC compatibility list.
- A proper power supply. Refer to the
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.
Technical features of Matrox RadientPro CL
• Matrox RadientPro CL-DB has two independent acquisition paths that support
a video source in the Camera Link Base configuration; Matrox RadientPro CL-SF
has a single acquisition path that supports a video source in the Camera Link
Medium, Full, or 80-bit configuration.
• Processing FPGA. The Processing FPGA is an Altera Stratix V.
• Has a x8 PCIe GEN 2 Host interface.
*. Note that you can also install Matrox RadientPro CL in a x4 PCIe slot that has a
mechanical x8 connector; however, the maximum transfer rate between
Matrox RadientPro CL and the Host is reduced by 50%.
