The Matrox Solios eV-CL family consists of four members: two PCIe dual-Base/single-Medium frame grabbers and two PCIe single-Medium/single-Full frame grabbers.
The PCIe dual-Base/single-Medium frame grabbers are Matrox Solios eV-CLB and Matrox Solios eV-CLBL; these only differ by their I/O connectors. The PCIe single-Medium/single-Full frame grabbers are Matrox Solios eV-CLF and eV-CLFL; similarly, these frame grabbers only differ by their I/O connectors.
Matrox Solios eV-CL supports area and line-scan monochrome and color video sources. The color video sources can be RGB video sources or video sources with a Bayer color filter. Matrox Solios eV-CLB and eV-CLBL can decode the color information of Bayer color-encoded images; whereas, Matrox Solios eV-CLF and eV-CLFL can only transfer the images to the Host computer (Host) for decoding. Matrox Solios eV-CL also supports video sources that do not follow the Camera Link standard (for example in dual-Base mode, four tap 14/16-bit with time-multiplexing), but use a Camera Link connection.

1 Only if the camera supports GenICam. For more information, refer to the Using GenICam with Camera Link cameras subsection of the Using MIL with GenICam section of Chapter 25: Grabbing with your digitizer.
2 Digitizer LUTs are not supported when using a 10-tap video source.
3 Some of these auxiliary signals are only available when using the optional cable adapter bracket. Also included are the standard camera control signals available on the Camera Link connector(s). For more information, refer to the Matrox Solios eV-CL xxx connectors and signal names, later in this chapter.
Note on nomenclature
This manual refers to all Matrox Solios eV-CL boards as Matrox Solios eV-CL. When necessary, this manual distinguishes between the boards using their full names.
