Number of cameras per board

The number of cameras that you can connect to each board
depends on the version of the board.
Matrox Meteor has four software-selectable video input
channels, so you can connect up to 4 cameras to these boards.
However, these boards can only grab from one camera per board
at a time since only one camera is selected through the board's
multiplexer.

Grabbing from multiple cameras
On each Matrox Meteor/RGB, you can grab from one RGB
camera or three standard monochrome video sources. Note that
if you grab from multiple monochrome video sources, the video
sources on a board must be genlocked, and the captured images
cannot be displayed in real-time because the video data is
packed (consecutive pixels belong to different channels).
