Matrox Morphis QxT

Matrox Morphis QxT is a cost-effective, PCIe-compatible imaging board, capable
of acquiring standard, monochrome/color, analog video from up to 16 different
video sources simultaneously. Images can be formatted in real-time, before being
sent to the Host. An overlay can be applied to images before they are sent to the
Host.
