Introduction

Matrox Iris GTX combines the integration of a conventional smart camera with
the flexibility of a traditional PC-based machine vision system. Matrox Iris GTX
is a fully programmable device, allowing extensive customization. Matrox
Iris GTX comes pre-installed with the Matrox Design Assistant runtime
environment.
Matrox Design Assistant is an intuitive, flowchart-based, integrated development
environment (IDE). System integrators and professional end-users can easily and
quickly develop and deploy machine vision applications on a highly integrated
platform without the need for traditional programming skills. The integrated
development environment provides access to a comprehensive set of
highly-efficient and field-proven image analysis and measurement tools.
Matrox Iris GTX features an Intel-architecture processor, and uses a global shutter
CMOS image sensor from a range of monochrome and color options. The CMOS
image sensor allows the exposure phase of a triggered grab to occur while the
previous image is being transferred. The Intel-architecture processor is an Intel
Atom x6211E processor. The 32-Gbyte eMMC (flash disk) provides in-camera
(on-board) storage for both the operating system and additional data. 4 Gbytes
of LPDDR4x SDRAM provides in-camera (on-board) volatile storage.
Matrox Iris GTX is fully integrated in an IP67 enclosure, eliminating the need to
separately source a sealed camera housing, while still providing easy access to the
lens.
