Connecting to Matrox Helios eCL/XCL

The Matrox Helios eCL/XCL board has the following connectors:
• Two Camera Link-compliant video input connectors (on the bracket). Used to
receive video input, timing, and synchronization signals and transmit/receive
communication signals between the video source and the frame grabber.
• Internal auxiliary I/O connector (50-pin). Used to transmit timing and
synchronization signals, and transmit/receive auxiliary signals. The connector is
located on the edge of the board, making the signals accessible from inside the
computer enclosure.
• System reset connector. Used to reset the motherboard if the reset button is
pressed or the Watchdog circuitry of Matrox Helios detects abnormal Host
inactivity.
To access the signals of the internal auxiliary I/O connector from outside of the
computer enclosure, you might have installed the corresponding adapter board.
It has the following connectors:
• External auxiliary I/O connector 0 (HD-44). Used to transmit timing and
synchronization signals, and transmit/receive auxiliary signals.
• External auxiliary I/O connector 1 (DB-9). Used to transmit/receive auxiliary
