Video formats, modes and bandwidth
PIKE Technical Manual V3.1.0
175
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.
