• Color formats. Matrox GatorEye GE300C, GE1200C, and GE1900C grab
images using a Bayer color filter, and transmit them in one of the following
formats.
- Bayer pattern. When transmitting images in this format, the native Bayer color
format is used.
- BGRa packed (8 bits per band). When trying to transmit images in this format
and at full-frame rate, the maximum bandwidth available will be used and
might result in low frame rates.
- YUV 4:2:2 packed (YUYV or UYVY). When transmitting images in this
format, the full frame rate can be achieved without bandwidth limitations, but
the resulting images might not be as good as other formats for processing.
- Mono 8. When transmitting images in this format, the monochrome format
is used. In this case, only the Y component of the image is transmitted.
• Digital I/Os: 5 inputs and 4 open-collector outputs.
- 4 independent sink-driver auxiliary output lines, used to connect TTL or
non-TTL devices (up to 24 V). Note that all of the output lines can be used as
a strobe line.
- 4 independent opto-isolated auxiliary input lines (implemented using
high-speed opto-isolators). All the input lines can generate GigE Vision events.
- 1 fully opto-isolated trigger input line (implemented using a high-speed
opto-isolator). The trigger input line can generate GigE Vision events.
- The opto-isolated auxiliary input lines are debounced (that is, configured to
reject the active portion of the input signal if it is less than a specified width).
By default, this width is 250 nsecs.
The debouncing time can be configured.
• Controlled-current output. 1 controlled-current output (CCS) designed to
provide variable current to an illuminator.
• Timers. 4 general purpose timers.
