To: All Matrox Corona and Matrox Corona-LC customers
From: Matrox Imaging Product Management
Date: December 13, 2000
All Corona and Corona-LC customers should have already received an end-of-life-notice
advising them that Matrox Imaging is no longer accepting orders for these frame grabbers. Two key
components on the Corona product family have been discontinued and we are no longer able to procure
them. As a result, Matrox had no choice but to retire the Corona product family. We will, however,
continue to support all registered Corona customers and offer repair services for all Corona boards.
In light of this fact, Matrox is encouraging Corona customers to migrate to the
lower-cost but functionally equivalent combination of
Meteor-II/Multi-Channel and/or Meteor-II/Digital
frame grabbers with the appropriate Matrox graphics board. Corona users requiring a single slot solution
are encouraged to migrate to the Corona-II frame grabber
while users of Corona-LC should be migrate to the lower-cost but functionally equivalent
Orion.
