True-color solution
Matrox Corona is a single-slot frame grabber built for color imaging applications.
Besides real-time color acquisition, Matrox Corona handles high bandwidth
transfers of up to 24-bit color images over the PCI bus and, at the same time,
displays true-color live video with true-color non-destructive overlay. The board’s
unique architecture includes custom Matrox components for unsurpassed truecolor performance.
Two real-time data paths
Simultaneous capture to display and system memory is made possible by the
combination of Matrox VIA and Matrox Rainbow Runner bus interface ASICs.
For example, using the dual data paths, metrology applications can take advantage
of simultaneous real-time transfer of color data to display for visualization and
monochrome data to host for processing.

The dual frame buffer architecture provides non-destructive overlay. With up to
4 MB of image buffer and 4 MB of overlay buffer memory, Matrox Corona can
deliver up to 24-bit color image display with up to 24-bit color overlay. Use the
power of 16 million colors to build an advanced user interface in image cataloguing
and analysis applications.
Video-in-a-window with real-time scaling
Matrox Corona supports high-quality, live video-in-a-window display. The window
can be scaled down to any size and positioned anywhere on the screen with no
change to your frame rate. Live video images can also be cropped to display only
the desired region of interest.
