Matrox GenesisState-of-the-art hardware components
Matrox Genesis vision processor is a unique design based on thePCI platform that uses Texas Instruments' TMS320C80 DSP. Our designexploits 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 acceleratingneighborhood operations. The advanced Grab Module can handlevirtually any monochrome or color video stream. A key component inMatrox Genesis' design that links everything together is the VideoInterface ASIC
VIA: at the heart of Matrox GenesisCustom designed by Matrox, the VIA (Video Interface ASIC) is an intelligentcontroller that performs optimized transfers between acquisition, displayand processing sections in the Matrox Genesis system, as well as to andfrom external resources. It is also a powerful data formatting engineand is responsible for device synchronization. The Main Board and theProcessor Board each have two VIAs
The VIAs let Matrox Genesis sustain high throughput I/O and allow theC80/NOA to be completely dedicated to processing, since the VIA off-loadsall data management tasks.
The most comprehensive software availablefor a C80-based board
Matrox has extensive experience in providing software tools to meetthe needs of developers in scientific and industrial imaging. We knowwhat functions are required to solve machine vision, medical imagingand image analysis applications. Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) is acomprehensive image processing library that includes ActiveMIL,acollection of ActiveX controls (OCXs). Access to the board is alsoprovided through the board-specific Matrox Genesis Native Library(GNL). All library functions have been fully optimized to exploitthe full processing power and functionality of the hardware.
