Acquisition Features - Matrox Corona Installation And Hardware Reference

Matrox Corona 11
Matrox Corona-LC A lower cost derivative of Matrox Corona is Matrox Corona-LC.
It can be used for applications that do not require component
RGB acquisition, digital video input, variable scan, or
asynchronous reset operation. Matrox Corona-LC has all the
other features and options of a fully configured Matrox Corona
board. This document does not explicitly refer to Matrox
Corona-LC because, in general, any discussion of Matrox
Corona also applies to Matrox Corona-LC (except discussions
of above mentioned features).

Acquisition features

Matrox Corona can acquire different types of video input using
its video decoder, RGB digitization section, and companion
digital-input board. The video decoder path can capture
monochrome RS-170/CCIR, composite NTSC/PAL (CVBS), and
component NTSC/PAL (Y/C), and convert it to RGB 8:8:8 or
YUV16 format with either square pixels or CCIR-601
resolutions. The RGB digitization section can capture
component RGB analog video; the video can either be interlaced
or progressive. Using the companion digital-input board,
Matrox Corona can also capture 24-bit RS-422/LVDS digital
input (monochrome or RGB).
Matrox Corona includes three 256x8-bit input lookup-tables
(LUTs) to remap the video stream.
Matrox Corona accepts a trigger input for monoshot acquisition
and supports asynchronous reset modes. It also provides two
exposure signals, and it can receive and generate
synchronization signals and a pixel clock.
Matrox Corona also includes a strap-selectable power
output(5 V or 12 V) for single-cable camera connections. The
total current drawn by all the cameras must not exceed
1.5 amps.
