Linux Support for Camera Link Frame Grabber

At Vision 2010, Matrox Imaging is announcing Linux support for Matrox Radient eCL, a camera link frame grabber with an Altera Stratix III/IV processing FPGA. 'The introduction of Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) support for the Matrox Radient eCL on Linux gives system developers who use the open-source operating system access to this high-performance camera link frame grabber,' said Michael Chee, product manager, Matrox Imaging.

'Linux system developers can now take advantage of the Matrox Radient eCL's high-bandwidth image capture - up to four base or two full mode camera link cameras on a single board - and high-throughput FPGA-based processing capabilities,' he said. Matrox Radient eCL is the single-board solution for applications that require high-performing Camera Link cameras. The PCIe x8 card ensures that the data from the highest-throughput 10-tap, 85MHz cameras is transferred to the host CPUs. Its half-length form factor ensures a good fit in compact systems. Optimised for multi-camera applications, Matrox Radient eCL supports for up to four base or up to two full mode camera link cameras.

The board also features an on-board real-time processing FPGA device that can be configured to offload and accelerate the most compute-intensive part of typical image-processing applications without generating additional data traffic for the host computer. Matrox Radient eCL supports 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows XP/Vista and Linux, and is programmed with the field-proven, hardware-independent Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) or MIL-Lite development toolkits.
