Board summary

Global information

• Operating system: See your software manual for supported versions of Microsoft
Windows and Linux.
• Minimum computer requirements:
- x8 (or x16) PCIe 1.x or 2.x slot
- Processor with an Intel 32-bit or 64-bit architecture, or equivalent.
- A relatively up-to-date PCIe chipset. A chipset that supports the PCIe 2.x
standard is preferable. The list of platforms that are known to be compatible
with Matrox Radient eV-CXP is available on the Matrox website, under the
board's PC compatibility list.
- A proper power supply. Refer to the Electrical specifications section.
Matrox does not guarantee compatibility with all computers that have the above
specifications. Please consult with your local Matrox Imaging representative, local
Matrox Imaging sales office, the Matrox web site, or the Matrox Imaging
Customer Support Group at headquarters before using a specific computer.

Technical features of Matrox Radient eV-CXP

• Four independent CoaXPress links (acquisition paths). Image data can be
transmitted at up to 6.25 Gbits/sec when using a single coaxial cable (1.25, 2.5,
3.125, 5.0, or 6.25 Gbits/s), and up to 25 Gbits/sec when using four cables.
• Provides power-over-CoaXPress (PoCXP) (up to 13 W per link) to any
PoCXP-compliant device. The board is equipped with an overcurrent protection
mechanism and a resettable fuse. The fuse can sustain a current of 1 A.
• Has a x8 PCIe 2.0 Host interface.
*. Note that you can also install Matrox Radient eV-CXP in a x4 PCIe slot that has a
mechanical x8 connector; however, the maximum transfer rate between Matrox
Radient eV-CXP and the Host is reduced by 50%.
