Single Camera Link Notes
3.1
Max FPS Info
Note: Due to the bandwidth limitations of a single PCI-e slot (effectively what the Express card slot is) the FPS is
limited to 28 FPS. This is due to a 190 MB/second bandwidth of this bus. If a single channel Camera Link was used
in a “Desktop” PC with more than a single PCI-e channel, approximately 240 MB/second would be possible,
providing approximately 40 FPS in the same 8 BPP x 2 mode.
3.2
If using the USB-RNDIS driver the PC should be set to 10.1.47.1 and the camera fixed at 10.1.47.2
