PIKE Technical Manual V4.0.0
219
As already mentioned, the recommended limit for transferring isochronous
image data is 2000q (quadlets) per cycle or 8192 bytes (with 800 Mbit/s of
bandwidth).
The frame rates in video modes 0 to 2 are specified and set fixed by IIDC
V1.31.

Note
L
• 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.
• IEEE 1394 adapter cards with PCILynx™ chipsets (pre-
deccessor of OHCI) have a limit of 4000 bytes per cycle.
