Matrox Solios eA/XA acquisition section 73
Performance
The video timing parameters supported by the board are as follows:
Analog input
Matrox Solios eA/XA includes the electronic circuitry needed to select, amplify,
filter, and drive the video signal prior to sending it to the analog-to-digital (A/D)
converters.
Matrox Solios eA/XA Quad has four wide-band analog acquisition paths, Matrox
Solios eA/XA Dual has two, whereas Matrox Solios eA/XA Single has one. The
following table describes the video source combinations from which simultaneous,
independent acquisition is supported and the acquisition paths to which they must
be connected:
Maximum
Number of pixels / line (including sync and blanking) 64 K
Number of lines / frame (including sync and blanking) 64 K
Pixel clock for single sampling rate operation 65 MHz
Bandwidth
eA/XA Single 130 Mbytes/sec
eA/XA Dual 260 Mbytes/sec
eA/XA Quad 520 Mbytes/sec
Analog bandwidth (-3 db cutoff frequency) 100 MHz

1. Note that taps expected to come from the same video source can also come from different video sources as long as they are synchronized (genlocked). In this case,
the grabbed data is stored in separate color bands of the same buffer; the buffer can be in planar format.
2. Note that Matrox Solios eA/XA Single only has acquisition path 0 and can therefore support only 1 tap. Matrox Solios eA/XA Dual only has acquisition paths 0 and 1,
and can only support two taps.
