Acquisition features

Matrox Vio Duo can acquire video data from an SD or HD analog or digital video

source; the analog path utilizes a multi-format decoder for capturing video data,

whereas the digital path uses a multi-rate deserializer. The table below summarizes

the supported acquisition video formats:

Video data is converted by the decoder or the deserializer into either YUV or

20-bit YCbCr. Grabbed images can then be transferred to the Host in

BGR24 packed, BGR32 packed, RGB24 planar, YUV, or monochrome pixel

formats. Images can be transferred to an auxiliary display, but the resolution of

the output has to be identical to the resolution of the image acquired.

Matrox Vio Duo can acquire data from only one video source at a time; however

you can attach several video sources and switch between them. You can connect

up to two analog (one CVBS and one RGB/YPbPr/YC) and two digital video

sources.

Display features

Matrox Vio Duo can output video to an auxiliary analog display device, an

auxiliary digital display device

, or to both simultaneously. Although the board

allows for simultaneous analog and digital display, the same information is sent

to both outputs.

10 Chapter 1: Introduction

Matrox Vio Duo uses a multi-format encoder to output in analog mode and a

multi-rate serializer to output in digital mode. In either mode, video is output to

the display at the original acquisition resolution; the format can change as long as

the resolution is the same.

Besides outputting acquired video, Matrox Vio Duo can also output static images

from on-board memory.

In addition, Matrox Vio Duo is capable of dynamically overlaying an image over

images that are being displayed. The overlay image can be static or dynamic

(different for every frame of the underlay image).

❖ Note, the display section of Matrox Vio Duo can only output to non-windowed

auxiliary displays.

Memory

As a standard feature, Matrox Vio Duo has 128 Mbytes of linearly addressable

DDR SDRAM, used as acquisition and display memory, with a bandwidth of up

to 100 MHz (1.6 Gbytes/sec), and a 64-bit data bus. The memory interfaces to

the video controller and is used for the storage of acquisition video data, overlay

images, and static images transferred from the Host.

Data transfer

Matrox Vio Duo can exchange data with the Host at a peak transfer rate of up to

800 Mbytes/sec when used in a four lane PCIe slot. Internal data paths allow for

transfer of live video to on-board memory, Host memory, or auxiliary display.

Software

To operate the Matrox Vio Duo, you can purchase one or more Matrox Imaging

software products that support the board. These are the Matrox Imaging Library

(MIL) and its derivatives (MIL-Lite, ActiveMIL, ActiveMIL-Lite, and Matrox

Inspector). All Matrox software is supported under Windows; consult your

software manual for supported Windows environments.

❖ Note, the discussion throughout this manual is based in terms of Matrox Imaging

software products.

Software 11

MIL MIL is a high-level programming library with an extensive set of optimized

functions for image capture, processing, analysis, transfer, compression, display,

and archiving. Image processing operations include point-to-point, statistical,

spatial filtering, morphological, geometric transformation, and FFT operations.

Analysis operations support calibration, are performed with sub-pixel accuracy,

and include pattern recognition (normalized grayscale correlation and Geometric

Model Finder), blob analysis, edge extraction and analysis, measurement,

metrology, character recognition (template-based and feature-based), code

recognition and verification (1D, 2D and composite code types),

3D reconstruction, and color analysis.

MIL applications are easily ported to new Matrox hardware platforms and can be

designed to take advantage of multi-processing and multi-threading

environments.

MIL-Lite MIL-Lite is a subset of MIL. It includes all the MIL functions for image

acquisition, transfer, display control, and archiving. It also allows you to perform

processing operations that are typically useful to pre-process grabbed images.

ActiveMIL ActiveMIL is a set of ActiveX controls that are based on MIL. ActiveMIL was

designed for rapid application development (RAD) tools, such as Microsoft’s

Visual Basic. ActiveMIL is included with MIL (ActiveMIL-Lite is included with

MIL-Lite).

Matrox Inspector 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.

End users can use Matrox Inspector to perform and automate image enhancement

and measurement tasks.

Matrox Intellicam Matrox Intellicam is an interactive Windows program that allows for fast video

source interfacing and provides interactive access to all the acquisition features of

your Matrox board. Matrox Intellicam also has the ability to create custom digitizer

configuration format (DCF) files, which MIL and its derivatives use to interface

to specific non-standard video sources. Matrox Intellicam is included with all

Matrox Imaging software products.

Installation

This chapter explains how to install the Matrox Vio Duo

board in your computer.

16 Chapter 2: Hardware Installation

Installing the Matrox Vio Duo board

Before installing your Matrox Vio Duo board, some precautionary measures must

be taken. Turn off the power to your computer and all its peripherals, and drain

static electricity from your body (by touching a metal part of the computer chassis).

Proceed with the following steps to install your board. Note that your board should

be installed before you install your software.

1. Remove the cover from your computer; refer to your computer’s documentation

for instructions.

2. Ensure that you have an empty PCIe slot with a minimum of four lanes in which

to install your Matrox Vio Duo board.

Installing the Matrox Vio Duo board 17

If you intend to connec t multi pl e vid eo de vices, or a devi ce that req uires a dditional

synchronization and control signals, you will need to install the expanded video

input adapter board. This will require an additional empty slot. This slot can be

any type of PCI slot and need not be adjacent to the Matrox Vio Duo board. Note

that the expanded video input adapter board does not plug into a slot’s

PCI/PCI-X/PCIe connector; it attaches only to the back of the computer’s chassis.

3. Remove the metal plate(s) at the back of the selected slot(s), if present. If the metal

plate is held in place using a screw, keep the removed screw(s). You will need the

screw to anchor the board onto the chassis or to secure the expanded video input

adapter board, if installed.

4. Position your Matrox Vio Duo board over the selected slot. Once aligned perfectly,

press the board firmly but carefully into the connector of the slot.

18 Chapter 2: Hardware Installation

5. Anchor the board to the chassis. Replace the screw(s) removed in step 3, if any.

6. If required, install the expanded video input adapter board of the Matrox Vio Duo

board as described in the Installing the expanded video input adapter board section

later in this chapter.

7. Replace the cover of your computer. Attach the video output display(s) and input

video sources.

8. Turn on your computer.

❖ Upon booting your computer, Windows’ Plug-and-Play system will detect a new

Multimedia Video Device and you will be asked to assign it a driver. At this point,

you should click on Cancel because the driver will be installed during the

installation of Matrox Vio Duo software.

Installing the expanded video input adapter board 19

Installing the expanded video input adapter

board

Proceed with the following steps to install the expanded video input adapter board:

1. Ensure that your Matrox Vio Duo board is securely fastened to the computer

chassis.

Connect one end of the flat ribbon cable to the 40-pin internal connector of the

Matrox Vio Duo board. To do so, position the ribbon cable so that the red colored

stripe is on the same side as the bracket of the board. In this position, the connector

on only one end of the cable will latch properly. In addition, you should hear a

snap when the hooks of the cable’s connector latch onto the 40-pin internal

connector on the board.

2. Connect the other end of the flat ribbon cable to the 40-pin internal connector

on the expanded video input adapter board. Position the connectors so that their

triangular etchings face each other. The etchings indicate the location of pin 1.
