A while ago I have posted a solicitation of info. in comp.sys.sun about
frame grabber for SUN4. Now, I am looking at Matrox MVP-S, a color
framegrabber that has propriatery 'Digital Expansion Bus' running at
10MByte/s in addition to VME bus. The expansion bus is for the daughter
image processing accelarator board, and I am trying to take advantage of
it. I hope that The Digital Expansion bus allow me to read images out at
frame speed, to Pixel Planes 5, through special bus repeater. (Assuming I
can build the interface.) Also, in the development phase, I can use VME
bus connection to develop algorithm on SUN-4.
Now, I have two questons.
1) For somebody who has Matrox MVP-S. Is Matrox MVP-S good ?
(According to a source, it is pretty good. I just want to make
sure in spending my grant money.)
2) This is a hard question. Has anybody tried to hook up something
through Digital Expansion Bus mentioned above ? If there is,
what is the experience ?
Please email the comment and experience. Thanks in advance.
