Units with Matrox Meteor-II /Multi-Channel

To interface video sources to a Matrox Meteor-II /Multi-Channel frame grabber
(designed for Matrox 4Sight-II), use a DBHD44-TO-8BNC cable to connect to
the unit's external video input connector.
This cable has a DBHD44 connector on one side, and eight BNC connectors on
the other. It supports up to seven video input signals and one trigger signal.
The wires of this cable are numbered as follows:
1
BNC #
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
1. The wire color associated with each BNC number can be found on the color code pinout chart included with the
DBHD44-TO-8BNC cable.
2. OPTOTRIG- is connected to the ground of the trigger source, and passes through the cable shield.
You can interface up to two RGB cameras to the Matrox Meteor-II
/Multi-Channel frame grabber. To do so:
1. Connect the BNC wires to each RGB camera using the information from the
above table.
2. Attach the DBHD44 connector to the video input connector of Matrox 4Sight-II.
You can also use a DBHD44-TO-8BNC/O cable if you need to connect to other
signals (such as special user input and output signals) in addition to RGB video
signals. The DBHD44-TO-8BNC/O cable is an open-ended version of the
DH44-TO-8BNC cable.
