The Matrox GatorEye family consists of six GigE Vision cameras: GE300, GE300C, GE1200, GE1200C, GE1900, and GE1900C.
The primary difference between the members of the Matrox GatorEye family are: the sensor chip size, the effective resolution, color, and frame rate.

Matrox GatorEye can connect to any device through an Ethernet (100/1000 BaseT), RS-232 serial port, and auxiliary digital I/O lines.
Matrox GatorEye supports the GenICam-standard programming interface for GigE cameras. It also supports the following GenICam-extension features: laser range control (peak intensity detection) and a rotary decoder. Due to its peak intensity detection, Matrox GatorEye is considered a 3D camera that can perform laser line extraction.
Matrox GatorEye GE300C, GE1200C, and GE1900C grab images using a Bayer color filter, and transmit them in a Bayer pattern, BGRa packed (8 bits per band), YUV 4:2:2 packed (YUYV or UYVY), or 8-bit monochrome.
