How does bandwidth affect the frame
rate?
In some modes the IEEE 1394a bus limits the attainable frame rate. Accord-
ing to the 1394a specification on isochronous transfer, the largest data pay-
load size of 4096 bytes per 125 µs cycle is possible with bandwidth of
400 Mbit/s. In addition, because of a limitation in an IEEE 1394 module
(GP2Lynx), only a maximum number of 4095 packets per frame are allowed.
The following formula establishes the relationship between the required
Byte_Per_Packet size and certain variables for the image. It is valid only for
Format_7.
If the value for
BYTE_PER_PACKET
is greater than 4096 (the maximum data
payload), the sought-after frame rate cannot be attained. The attainable
frame rate can be calculated using this formula:
(Provision:
BYTE_PER_PACKET
is divisible by 4):
ByteDepth based on the following values:
Formula 4: Byte_per_Packet calculation (only Format_7)
Formula 5: Max. frame rate calculation
