The Matrox Concord PoE family consists of two models: the Matrox Concord PoE base model and Matrox Concord PoE with ToE.
Matrox Concord PoE base model is a Gigabit Ethernet network interface board that provides optimum support for interfacing with GigE Vision cameras and supplies Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) to GigE Vision cameras that support PoE. There are two versions of the Matrox Concord PoE base model: the Dual-port version and the Quad-port version.
Matrox Concord PoE with ToE includes all the features of the Matrox Concord PoE base model, with the addition of an Advanced I/O Engine. The Advanced I/O Engine provides use of 8 auxiliary signals, and includes I/O command lists, timers, quadrature decoders, user outputs, and a Trigger-over-Ethernet (ToE) module. The Trigger-over-Ethernet module can transmit a Trigger-over-Ethernet packet, either as an action command or a GigE Vision software trigger, upon reception of an internal or external event. There are two versions of Matrox Concord PoE with ToE: the Dual-port version and the Quad-port version.
In addition to being prelicensed for use with the MIL drivers for GigE Vision cameras, the Matrox Concord PoE board can act as a fingerprint for licensing supplemental MIL functionality. The board can also store a supplemental MIL license, which facilitates the process of moving to a new computer.
