Connecting a video input to Meteor-II /Multi-Channel for PCI
Connect video sources to Matrox Meteor-II /Multi-Channel's video input
connector, using the optional DBHD44-TO-8BNC cable. This cable has eight
BNC connectors and a 44-pin high-density D-Subminiature plug. The wires of
the cable are color-coded as follows:

*OPTOTRIG- is usually connected to the ground of the trigger source. It is the shield of the gray BNC.
Connecting Matrox Meteor-II /Multi-Channel for PCI to the auxiliary power
supply input
To use Matrox Meteor-II /Multi-Channel to power your camera:
1. Use the 4-pin power cable to connect the auxiliary power supply connector to the
power supply in the computer.
2. Ensure that the jumper is across the appropriate Matrox Meteor-II auxiliary power
supply selection pins, for the required voltage (5 V or 12 V). See Appendix B for
a diagram.
3. Use the DBHD44-TO-8BNC/O cable to connect your camera's video output and
power supply input to the video input connector. Note that the total current drawn
by all the cameras is limited to 1.5 A, and the circuit uses an auto-resettable fuse.
