Implement video capture with ease
using the Matrox Imaging Library
(MIL) or Microsoft® DirectShow®
provides the ideal solution to the legacy standard definition (SD) and advanced high
definition (HD) video needs found in many medical imaging, video surveillance and
simulation/training applications. The Orion HD features two independent video input
paths. Each video input path can connect and switch between RGB / CVBS (3) / YPrPb,
DVI-D / and SDI signal types through DVI-I1 and BNC connectivity2 respectively. The Orion
HD can handle different resolutions and rates: SD (NTSC/PAL), HD (720p, 1080i and
1080p at up to 60Hz), PC (up to 1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz) and non-standard3. The Matrox Orion
HD includes a programmable color space converter for obtaining the most accurate
color representation of the original image.
Multi-headed display
In addition to two independent video input paths, the Matrox Orion HD features four
independent video outputs (two DVI-I and two SDI). The video outputs are not only
independent from each other but are also independent from the video inputs for
maximum configuration flexibility. The video outputs can be used for a single extended
Windows® desktop or a separate Windows® desktop and exclusive display for the
application4. The video outputs support RGB / DVI-D / and SDI signal types through

DVI-I1 and BNC connectivity2 respectively. The Orion HD outputs can support various
resolutions and rates: SD (NTSC/PAL), HD (720p, 1080i and 1080p at up to 60Hz) and
PC (up to 1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz). Using a Matrox-designed graphics controller, the Orion
HD can overlay standard Windows® graphics on the video outputs.
