Acquisition
Standard/non-standard monochrome acquisition Matrox Pulsar delivers flexible monochrome analog or digital video acquisition and accurately locks to video sources (± 2ns pixel jitter). It grabs from RS-170/CCIR cameras and from non-standard devices such as high resolution frame scan cameras and line scan cameras. 30 frames per second or the equivalent.

For applications requiring more than 256 gray levels, Matrox Pulsar has 10-bit analog to digital conversion. Sampling is up to 30 MHz with 10-bit grayscale resolution or up to 45 MHz with 8-bit. Up to 4 analog softwareselectable input channels are available for interfacing to multiple cameras. The onboard PLL generates a variable scan clock with a programmable frequency from 5-45 MHz, and provides phase adjustments from -180° to 90° in 90° increments. For digital acquisition, Matrox Pulsar provides up to 16-bit TTL data input. An optional companion board is available for up to 16-bit RS-422 digital video data input. Digital data can be clocked at up to 30 MHz.

It supports capture at up to 1K x 1K x 8 bits per pixel at


Video adjustment Software programmable gain allows conditioning of the video input signal so that the complete dynamic range of the 10-bit A/D converter can be used. For more specialized applications requiring a finer adjustment of the video input, black level and reference controls are available on the A/D converter. The programmable look-up table (LUT) can transform greater than 8-bit pixel data to 8-bit pixels for transfer to the display section or host system. It can also be used to remap an incoming video stream. Matrox Pulsar supports horizontal and vertical sub-sampling by 2 and 4. Synchronization and control Matrox Pulsar can be programmed to accept or generate video timing signals such as horizontal sync, vertical sync, and pixel clock in TTL/RS-422 format. External trigger An external digital (opto-isolated/TTL/RS-422) trigger input can reset the acquisition hardware synchronously or asynchronously to provide user control over image capture in relation to external events. Exposure control Two programmable digital (TLL/RS-422) exposure (or timer) outputs are available to remotely control camera exposure timings and/or trigger strobes.

Display
High resolutions Matrox Pulsars integrated display delivers real-time display of captured video. Various resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 are supported at refresh rates up to 85 Hz. This display section is powered by award-winning Matrox MGA graphics accelerator technology and can be used as the host systems main display controller, eliminating the need for a separate display board3. The display section incorporates the Matrox MGA 2064W chip, a 220 MHz RAMDAC, and dual-ported WRAM, thus guaranteeing lightning-fast display performance, high-resolution, and a high refresh rate. Dual frame buffer architecture The integrated display section comes with a 2 MB WRAM image frame buffer (8-bit monochrome) and a separate 2 MB WRAM overlay frame buffer (8-bit pseudo color). Non-destructive overlay The overlay frame buffer enables non-destructive overlay of desktop and/or separate text and graphics onto the contents of the image frame buffer. Dual-screen mode In this set-up, Matrox Pulsar can capture and display live video with overlay on one monitor while an additional display board (or another Matrox Pulsar) displays the desktop on a second monitor. Multi-head mode Under Windows NT, one large virtual desktop can be created and displayed across multiple monitors using, for example, two Matrox Pulsar boards or a Matrox Pulsar and Matrox graphics board. The live video can be displayed across all screens.

Transfers
Transfer rate Matrox Pulsar is capable of sustaining transfer rates of up to 60 MB/sec between the acquisition section and the host PCI system (depending on the host computer used). PCI bus master Matrox Pulsar acts as a PCI bus master allowing transfers without requiring continuous host intervention.


Software
Matrox Imaging Library (MIL)

Matrox lntellicam MIL includes Matrox Intellicam camera configuration utility, a Windows-based program that lets users interactively configure Matrox image capture hardware to acquire from a specific image source. Matrox Inspector Matrox Inspector is Windowsbased software that provides interactive access to an extensive set of imaging operations. Developers can use Matrox Inspector as a prototyping tool to quickly build proof-of-concept demonstrations. Matrox Inspector will also meet the needs of end-users (scientists, technicians, and engineers) who need to extract precise measurements, as well as other information, from images.

MIL is a high-level programming library with an extensive set of optimized functions for image capture, transfer, processing (point-to-point, statistics, filtering, morphology, geometric transforms, FFT, JPEG codec, and segmentation), pattern matching, blob analysis, gauging, calibration, bar and matrix code reading, OCR, graphics, and display. ActiveMIL For fast Windows application development, MIL comes bundled with ActiveMIL, a collection of ActiveX controls (OCXs) for managing image capture, transfer, processing, analysis, and display. ActiveMIL fully integrates into Microsoft Visual Basic or C++ rapid application development (RAD) environments. ActiveMIL lets you quickly and easily put together an imaging application with a custom, professionallooking, Windows user interface. Application development consists of drag 'n' drop tool placement with point 'n' click configuration, resulting in substantially less coding. Debugging is also simplified with instantaneous validation and error reporting along with detailed descriptions for error resolution. With ActiveMIL, OEMs and integrators save development time by focusing on the imaging task rather than implementing the user interface. MIL-Lite/ActiveMIL-Lite MIL-Lite/ActiveMIL-Lite is a subset of MIL/ActiveMIL with functions for image capture, transfer, and display control.
