MIL-Lite
Matrox Intellicam
MIL-Lite is a subset of MIL. It includes all the MIL functions for image
acquisition, transfer, display control, and archiving. It also allows you to perform
processing operations that are typically useful to pre-process grabbed images.
Matrox Intellicam is an interactive Windows program that allows fast camera
interfacing and provides interactive access to all the acquisition features of your
Matrox board. With Matrox Intellicam, you can change the size and position of
the active region by creating a custom DCF. Matrox Intellicam is included with
all Matrox Imaging software products.

Essentials to get started

To begin using Matrox CronosPlus, you must have a computer with the following:
• An available conventional 3.3 V or 5 V PCI expansion slot (bus-master capable).
• A computer with a relatively up-to-date PCI chipset. The list of platforms that are
known to be compatible with Matrox CronosPlus are available on the Matrox
website, under the board's PC compatibility list.
• Microsoft Windows if using Matrox Imaging software (consult the documentation
accompanying the software for specific supported environments and computer
memory/storage requirements).
• A DVD drive, and a hard disk or network drive on which to install the Matrox
CronosPlus software.
