Video formats, modes and bandwidth

 OSCAR Technical Manual

 

V2.4.0

131

In addition to the Area of Interest, some other parameters have an effect on 
the maximum frame rate:

•

The time for reading the image from the sensor and transporting it into 
the FRAME_BUFFER

•

The time for transferring the image over the FireWire™ bus

•

The length of the exposure time.

Read the next chapter for more details.

Frame rates

An IEEE 1394 camera requires bandwidth to transport images.

The IEEE 1394a bus has very large bandwidth of at least 32 MByte/s for trans-
ferring (isochronously) image data. Per cycle up to 4096 bytes (or around 
1000 quadlets = 4 bytes @ 400 Mbit/s) can thus be transmitted.

Depending on the video format settings and the configured frame rate, the 
camera requires a certain percentage of maximum available bandwidth. 
Clearly the bigger the image and the higher the frame rate, there is more data 
to be transmitted.

The following tables indicate the volume of data in various formats and 
modes to be sent within one cycle (125 µs) at 400 Mbit/s of bandwidth.

The tables are divided into three formats:

They enable you to calculate the required bandwidth and to ascertain the 
number of cameras that can be operated independently on a bus and in which 
mode.

Note

L

 All bandwidth data is calculated with:

1 MByte = 1024 kByte
