Hi There,
I'm not sure if this will help, but if your institute has a full Matlab license and, as Torsten wrote, you already have the Matrox libraries around, there are some developed tools that might be useful.
Here is one:

You could also search the Matlab file exchange (in the upper right corner of the page I link above) for the word, "Matrox." I see there are some other results there as well.
Best regards,
Nate

Hi,
As far as I know, there are (for MS Windows) only commercial packages working together
with Matrox frame grabbers (like Matlab with Image Acquisition Toolbox, ImageProPlus V.4,
Norpix Streampix, Common Vision Blox, National Instruments IMAQ, to name a few).
Probably Matrox employs a strict copyright, and only commercial packages are allowed to
use the Matrox Imaging Library MIL distribution. There is an open source driver for Linux, but
I have not tried it yet. The cheapest way might be to buy the TWAIN driver for the frame
grabber from Ebbosoft. At least you can try it out for free, and I think it works with ImageJ.
Some time ago I asked for pricing, it was about 100 Euros.
If there is a freeware program running with Matrox frame grabbers under Windows, I'd be
happy to hear of it!!
