Table 41: Format_2
As already mentioned, the recommended limit for transferring isochronous image data is 1000q
(quadlets) per cycle or 4096 bytes (with 400 Mb/s of bandwidth).
The third table shows that a MF-145B2 @ 7.5 fps has to send 1280 pixels or 1 line of video per
cycle. The camera thus uses 32 % of available bandwidth. This allows up to three cameras with
these settings to be operated independently on the same bus.
If the cameras are operated with an external trigger the maximum trigger frequency may
not exceed the highest continuous frame rate, so preventing frames from being dropped or
corrupted.
The frame rates in video modes 0 to 2 are specified and set fixed by IIDC V. 1.3.
