The Matrox Solios eV-CLB is a high-performance Camera Link frame grabber for machine vision systems requiring deterministic image acquisition from area or line scan cameras. It bridges single medium and dual-base Camera Link configurations to a PCIe x4 host interface, delivering up to 1 GB/s peak bandwidth. The card supports simultaneous acquisition from up to two independent Base Camera Link cameras in dual-base mode, or one Camera Link device in single medium mode, with on-board processing capabilities including Bayer interpolation, color space conversion, and look-up table operations.
Technical Specifications
• Host Interface: PCIe x4
• Peak Host Bandwidth: Up to 1 GB/s
