Matrox CronosPlus is a frame grabber capable of acquiring standard monochrome video in RS-170/CCIR format, and composite (CVBS) and component (Y/C) color video in NTSC/PAL format. The Matrox CronosPlus board can switch between a maximum of four monochrome/composite cameras.
The video decoder of Matrox CronosPlus can convert NTSC and PAL composite/component analog signals to digitized component video. It also features automatic gain control and scaling.
Matrox CronosPlus supports Microsoft Windows XP/7.
