Other useful
considerations
Matrox Inspector is an interactive Windows application for
image capture, processing, analysis, and archiving.
MIL application developers can use Matrox Inspector as a
prototyping tool to quickly build proof-of-concept
demonstrations for their machine vision, image analysis, and
medical imaging system. End users can use Matrox Inspector
to perform and automate image enhancement and
measurement tasks.
Matrox Intellicam is an interactive Windows program that
allows fast camera interfacing and provides interactive access
to all the acquisition features of your Matrox board. Matrox
Intellicam is included with MIL /ActiveMIL and MIL-Lite
/ActiveMIL-Lite.

What you need to get started

To begin using Matrox Meteor-II /1394, you need the following:
A computer with a PCI bus and an Intel Pentium processor
(or equivalent) or better.
Microsoft Windows if using Matrox Imaging software
(consult the Matrox Imaging software package for specific
supported environments and computer memory/storage
requirements).
A computer with a relatively up-to-date PCI chipset, such as
the Intel 440BX, 810, 815E, 820, 840, or 850 for full Matrox
Meteor-II functionality. These chipsets are recommended
because they generally offer better performance in terms of
data transfer rates.
A computer with an empty 32-bit PCI expansion slot
(bus-master capable).
A CD drive, and a hard disk or network drive on which to
install the Matrox Meteor-II software.
