Acquisition

Matrox Meteor boards have standard monochrome and color
acquisition capabilities. They accept RS-170/CCIR
monochrome video signals and NTSC/PAL color video signals
in either a composite or Y/C (S-Video or S-VHS) format. They
have four software-selectable video input channels for
interfacing with up to four video sources. Furthermore, for easy
signal calibration, they support programmable brightness,
contrast, hue, and saturation.
Meteor/RGB boards provide support for component RGB
acquisition, with independent gain and offset controls for each
channel. They support all of Meteor's input capabilities, except
for color video signals in Y/C format. This capability has been
exchanged for support of a synchronous trigger input (by way
of the Y/C connector).
For added flexibility, the Meteor/RGB frame grabber can
simultaneously grab from up to three standard monochrome
video sources, provided the sources are genlocked. In this case,
the three inputs cannot be displayed in real-time since the video
data is packed (consecutive pixels belong to different channels).
