Odyssey Xpro+ features 1.4-GHz PowerPC
Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 4/1/2005
The Odyssey Xpro+ enhanced version of the Matrox Odyssey Xpro scalable vision-processor board features the latest version of the Freescale G4 PowerPC embedded microprocessor with a core frequency starting at 1.4 GHz, a Matrox-designed Oasis processing and router ASIC, and a customizable co-processor FPGA. The single-slot Odyssey Xpro+ also offers over 5 Gbytes/s of memory bandwidth, up to 2 GBytes of DDR SDRAM, up to 2 Gbytes/s of external I/O bandwidth, and PCI-X bus support.
Like the Odyssey Xpro, the Odyssey Xpro+ can capture from the majority of area- or line-scan video sources, thanks to a standard PCI mezzanine card (PMC) site located on the board that allows for the addition of Camera Link, analog, or LVDS/RS-422 frame-grabber modules. The Matrox Odyssey family offers support for Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Linux.
Base price: $6495. Matrox Imaging, www.matrox.com/imaging.
