Appendix B: Technical information
Caution
Technical information
This appendix contains information that might be useful when
installing your Matrox Meteor-II /1394.
Global information
Operating systems: See your software manual for supported
versions of Microsoft Windows.
System requirements: A computer with a PCI bus and an
Intel Pentium processor (or equivalent) or better.
Some older systems use a core logic chipset (interfaces PCI
with Host memory) that has limited throughput capabilities.
Matrox Meteor-II /1394 might not be able to attain full
functionality on such systems. We recommend systems with
newer PCI chipsets, such as the Intel 440BX, 810, 815E, 820,
840, or 850. If you need more specific information regarding
potential problems, refer to Appendix A - Troubleshooting.
Technical features:
Support for up to 62 peripheral devices in a serial bus
network.
Compliant with IEEE and OHCI specifications.
Support for data transfer rates of up to 400 Mbits per
second.
Optional galvanic isolation barrier to prevent data loss and
protect electronic equipment.
Note that if you unplug an allocated 1394 camera while a MIL
application is running, your computer might freeze.
