If you are having trouble using Image Acquisition Toolbox with a supported
Matrox frame grabber, follow these troubleshooting steps:
1 Verify that your image acquisition hardware is functioning properly.
For Matrox devices, run the application that came with your hardware,
Matrox Intellicam , and verify that you can receive live video.
2 If your hardw
are is functioning properly, verify that you are using a
hardware dev
ice driver that is compatible with the toolbox. Image
Acquisition
Toolbox is only compatible with spe cific driver versions
provided wit
