Technical Summary
M-Vision 1000 PDF Brochure 
The M-VISION 1000 (MV-1000) is a single slot video digitizer board for the PCI
(Peripheral Component Interconnect) bus. The MV-1000 digitizes standard or non-standard
analog camera video into 8 bits per pixel at rates up to 40 million samples per second. An
optional 10 bit version is available for ultra high quality video applications. The
digitized video is stored in on-board VRAM or transferred in real time to system memory
and/or the VGA card for display. Up to four cameras may be attached to a single MV-1000.
The optional Digital Camera Interface (MV-1100) supports single
ended and differential input from 8, 16, and 32 bit devices. The MV-1100 is an excellent
solution for interfacing to the new generation of high speed digital RGB cameras.
The optional Color Digitizer modules (MV-1300
& MV-1350) support RGB or NTSC/PAL and S-Video.
The 1 Mbyte VRAM memory of the MV-1000 may be expanded to 4 Mbytes with the optional
MV-1200 memory expansion module. The on-board memory is organized as a continuous memory
array, that can accept up to 8 K pixels per line.
The PCI bus used by the MuTech M-Vision 1000 has a number of distinct architectural
advantages that benefit video image capture when working at high frame rates, high spatial
resolution, or high color resolution. These advantages are most clearly understood when
contrasted to the alternative PC bus solutions - the ISA bus and VL-Bus.
The M-Vision 1000 has been designed to sustain maximum PCI bus throughput, which on a
suitably equipped PC could reach 50 Mbytes per second. And, unlike the VL-Bus, it can do
so without contending with the system processor or other high speed peripherals, such as
SCSI disk controllers. A final benefit for system integrators using the M-Vision 1000 is
that it is truly platform independent, and is compatible with computers using not only
Intel, but also Power PC, and Digital Alpha processors.
