low-profile card
lifecycle managed and long term
availability
GigE Vision or IIDC support through
Matrox Imaging Library (MIL)
Matrox Concord is a family of Gigabit Ethernet network interface cards (NICs) and IEEE
1394b adaptors that are pre-licensed for use with the Matrox Imaging Library (MIL)
drivers for the GigE Vision® and IEEE 1394 IIDC protocols. The Matrox Concord family
offers a long and stable life cycle, which eliminates the burden associated with sourcing
and qualifying consumer-grade boards.

Support for established interface standards
The Matrox Concord G-series are Gigabit Ethernet NICs that provide optimum support
for the GigE Vision® camera interface standard. By way of MIL, these NICs are optimally
configured to minimize GigE Vision® protocol loading on the host through the default
enabling of jumbo packets as well as optimal settings for the interrupt throttling
rate and number of receive buffers. Unlike generic NICs, using the Matrox Concord
G-series with MIL does not require manually adjusting advanced driver properties.
Auto medium-dependent interface crossover (MDIX) further simplifies setup by
automatically detecting and crossing over signals for peer-to-peer connections thereby
eliminating the need for special cables.
The Matrox Concord F-series are IEEE 1394b adaptors that, through MIL, enable the
use of leading IEEE 1394 industrial cameras implementing the standard IIDC protocol.
These adaptors, by way of MIL, support up to the S400 and S8003 modes of IEEE 1394a
and 1394b respectively, ensuring maximum camera performance and minimal transfer
latency. In addition, the use of bilingual copper connectivity permits for cost-effective
cabling.
