PIKE Technical Manual V4.0.0

As an example, VGA Mono8 @ 60 fps requires four lines (640 x 4 = 2560 pix-
els/byte) to transmit every 125 µs: this is a consequence of the sensor's line
time of about 30 µs, so that no data needs to be stored temporarily. It takes
120 cycles (120 x 125 µs = 15 ms) to transmit one frame, which arrives every
16.6 ms from the camera. Again no data need to be stored temporarily.
Thus around 64% of the available bandwidth (at S400) is used. Thus one cam-
era can be connected to the bus at S400.
The same camera, run at S800 would require only 32% of the available band-
width, due to the doubled speed. Thus up to three cameras can be connected
to the bus at S800.
