Maximum ISO packet size
Use this feature to increase the MaxBytePerPacket value of Format_7 modes.
This overrides the maximum allowed isochronous packet size specified by
IIDC V1.31.
Example
For isochronous packets at a speed of S800 the maximum allowed packet size
(IIDC V1.31) is 8192 byte. This feature allows you to extend the size of an
isochronous packet up to 11.000 byte at S800. Thus the isochronous band-
width is increased from 64 MByte/s to approximately 84 MByte/s. You need
either PCI Express or PCI-X (64 bit).
The
Maximum ISO packet size
feature ...
•
... reduces the asynchronous bandwidth available for controlling cam-
eras by approximately 75%
•
... may lead to slower responses on commands
•
... is not covered by the IEEE1394 specification
•
... may not work with all available 1394 host adapters.
