DescriptionMatrox Genesis High-performance Imaging | with Speeds up to 100 billion Operations per Second (BOPs).
Main Board Key featureslong PCI board integrating acquisition, processing and display Grab Module acquires from virtually any video device: color/monochrome, analog/digital, frame scan/line scan at up to 140 MHz sampling rate incorporates one processing node with:- Texas Instruments' TMS320C80 DSP
- Matrox Neighborhood Operations Accelerator (NOA)
- 64 MB SDRAM memory
- 64-bit bus @ 400 MB/s1
- Matrox's Video Interface ASIC (VIA)
display resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 @ 85Hz true-color image display with non-destructive pseudo-color overlay
Processor Board Key featureslong PCI board containing one or two processing nodes used with Matrox Genesis Main Board for increased processing performance up to six Processor Boards can be used in one system interfaces directly to Main Board over the Grab Port Interface, VMChannel™ and the PCI bus can also be used as a powerful stand-alone processor board
Software Key featuresthe most comprehensive software available for a vision processor board extensive set of pre-built, high-level commands for image processing, pattern matching and blob analysis over 300 imaging operations are available, all fully optimized for accelerated processing by the C80/NOA combination Matrox Genesis Native Library Developer's Toolkit provides seamless integration of custom C80 code Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) has a consistent API across Matrox's line of imaging hardware
Key featuresflexible acquisition, real-time processing and high-resolution display all on one Main Board scalable processing - add more power by cascading Processor Boards as required for up to 100 BOPs performance user configurable multi-processing (parallel or pipeline or a combination) high-throughput I/O between acquisition, processing and display sections; between multiple boards and to external resources; handled by custom video interface ASIC (VIA) VIA offloads data management tasks from the vision processors allowing them to be completely dedicated to processing available software includes Matrox Imaging Library (MIL)/ActiveMIL, Matrox Genesis Native Library (GNL), Matrox Genesis Developer's Toolkit and Matrox Inspector support for Microsoft® Windows® NT 4.0, Windows® 2000, Windows® XP and QNX® (GNL only)
OverviewMatrox Genesis vision processor is a unique design based on the PCI platform that uses Texas Instruments' TMS320C80 DSP. Our design exploits the full power of the C80 multi-processor DSP, the PCI bus, SDRAM memory, the MGA 2064W graphics accelerator and WRAM memory. Also onboard Matrox Genesis is a powerful ASIC dedicated to accelerating neighborhood operations. The advanced Grab Module can handle virtually any monochrome or color video stream. A key component in Matrox Genesis' design that links everything together is the Video Interface ASIC.
