Powering and connecting your
Matrox camera
To power your Matrox camera and connect its I/O signals to your Matrox
Breakout Box module, perform the following:
1. Connect the DB-25 connector of the digital I/O and power cable of your
Matrox camera to the DB-25 connector on Matrox Breakout Box module.
2. Connect the M12 connector of the digital I/O and power cable to your
Matrox camera.
3. Connect the external power supply to the DC power socket of the Matrox
Breakout Box power source connector (J4).
Alternatively, use an open-wire power cable to connect the external power supply
to the power wire-terminal, and ground your Matrox Breakout Box module. For
information on how to connect a wire to the wire-terminal, refer to the Connecting
an open-wire to a wire-terminal section, earlier in this chapter.
Note that your Matrox Breakout Box supplies power to the camera through the
❖
digital I/O and power cable. When using the Matrox Breakout Box, you must
not connect the camera's ethernet cable to a power-over-Ethernet (PoE) injector.
