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!!

:-) Torsten
