General acquisition features

Matrox Orion HD has four acquisition paths, but can grab from only two
independently at any one time. Two of the acquisition paths support SD or HD
3G-SDI digital video input using a multi-rate deserializer. The other two
acquisition paths support multiple video input formats using a multi-format video
decoder; they support RGB, YPbPr, Y/C, or CVBS analog video input or DVI-D
digital video input. The table below summarizes the supported aquisition video
formats:
A c q u i s i t i o n v i d e o f o r m a t s

1 0 8 0 i a t 6 0 f r a m e s / s e c
1 0 8 0 p a t 6 0 f r a m e s / s e c
The two acquisition paths that support multiple video input formats also support
video input from display boards (graphics adapters) in standard resolutions. The
table below summarizes the supported standard resolutions:
S t a n d a r d r e s o l u t i o n
1 9 2 0 × 1 2 0 0
1 9 2 0 × 1 0 8 0
1 6 0 0 × 1 2 0 0
1 2 8 0 × 1 0 2 4
1 0 2 4 × 7 6 8
8 0 0 × 6 0 0
6 4 0 × 4 8 0
When grabbing standard definition (SD) video, the multi-format video decoder
converts the video input into RGB888, YUV16, or YCbCr601; when grabbing
high-definition (HD) video, it converts the video input to RGB888, YUV16, or
YCbCr709. The multi-format video decoder includes a programmable color space
converter for converting grabbed images to a different format.
