Matrox Corona

Matrox Corona is a single-slot PCI frame grabber board,
capable of acquiring images from standard NTSC/PAL,
component RGB, and non-standard area scan devices. Images
can be transferred simultaneously, in real time, to Host system
(your PC) memory for processing and to the on-board image
frame buffer for "video-in-a-window" display. You can use
Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) or any of its derivatives to
program your Matrox Corona.
