Chapter 3: Managing the Matrox 4Sight under Windows NT Embedded
Windows NT Embedded
When you purchase a Matrox 4Sight unit with a DiskOnChip,
the disk comes preloaded with a Windows NT Embedded
operating system. Windows NT Embedded is a subset of
standard Windows NT. Selectively chosen Windows NT
components, including peripheral drivers, file systems,
networking, and utilities are included in the embedded
operating system, while other components are excluded. This
operating system has small storage requirements, which
makes it ideal for use with the DiskOnChip and in applications
where some components of a full Windows NT operating system
are unnecessary. The version of Windows NT Embedded
included with the Matrox 4Sight unit reduces the storage
requirements for the operating system to as little as 20 Mbytes.
Windows NT Embedded configuration
The version of Windows NT Embedded that is shipped with
Matrox 4Sight is a version of Windows NT 4.0 (US-Edition),
and includes Service Pack 5.0. This version of Windows NT is
the only other officially supported operating system, besides
the full version of Windows NT 4.0 (which can be installed on
Matrox 4Sight's hard drive). For a complete listing of
components included with Windows NT Embedded see
Component Listing for Windows NT Embedded in Appendix D:
