Matrox Intellicam is an interactive Windows program that
allows fast camera interfacing and provides interactive access
to all the acquisition features of your Matrox board. For boards
that accept non-standard video sources, Matrox Intellicam also
has the ability to create custom digitizer configuration format
(DCF) files, which MIL and its derivatives use to interface to
specific non-standard video sources. Matrox Intellicam is
included with MIL /ActiveMIL and MIL-Lite /ActiveMIL-Lite.

What you need to get started

To begin using Matrox Meteor-II /Digital, you need the
following:
A computer with a PCI bus and an Intel Pentium processor
■
(or equivalent) or better.
Microsoft Windows if using Matrox Imaging software
■
(consult the Matrox Imaging software package for specific
supported environments and computer memory/storage
requirements).
A computer with a relatively up-to-date PCI chipset, such as
■
the Intel 440BX, 810, 815E, 820, 840, or 850 for full Matrox
Meteor-II functionality. These chipsets are recommended
because they generally offer better performance in terms of
data transfer rates.
A computer with an empty full-length 32-bit PCI expansion
■
slot (bus-master capable).
A CD drive, and a hard disk or network drive on which to
■
install the Matrox Meteor-II software.
