■ Single-screen mode

A display configuration using a single monitor to display both

the Host operating system’s user interface and images from

the Matrox Orion display memory.

■ Trigger

A signal that allows image acquisition to be synchronized to

external events. If supported, a digitizer can operate in one

of two modes upon receiving a trigger:

❐ Asynchronous reset mode: If your digitizer supports and

uses this mode, the camera is reset to begin a new frame

when the trigger signal is received.

❐ Next valid frame/field mode: If your digitizer supports and

uses this mode, the digitizer will grab the next valid frame

or field.

■ Vertical sync

The part of a video signal that indicates the end of a frame

and the start of a new one.
