Note 1. The PIXCI® E4TX2-2F Frame Grabber's capture bandwidth is limited by the computer's PCI Express x4 Gen 2 bus/interface. The bandwidth is sufficient for a single camera, but may not be sufficient for multiple cameras sharing a single PIXCI® E4TX2-2F Frame Grabber. (The PCI Express x4 Gen 2 interface has, on most computers, an effective maximum bandwidth of approximately 1390 MByte/sec.)
Note 2. The PIXCI® E4G2-2F Frame Grabber's capture bandwidth is limited by the computer's PCI Express x4 Gen 2 bus/interface. The bandwidth is sufficient for a single camera, but may not be sufficient for multiple cameras sharing a single PIXCI® E4G2-2F Frame Grabber. (The PCI Express x4 Gen 2 interface has, on most computers, an effective maximum bandwidth of approximately 1390 MByte/sec.)
Note 3. The PIXCI® e104x4-2f Frame Grabber's capture bandwidth is limited by the computer's PCIe/104 x4 Gen 2 bus/interface. The bandwidth is sufficient for a single camera, but may not be sufficient for multiple cameras sharing a single PIXCI® e104x4-2f Frame Grabber. (The PCI Express x4 Gen 2 interface has, on most computers, an effective maximum bandwidth of approximately 1390 MByte/sec.)
Note 4. The PIXCI® miniH2F Frame Grabber's capture bandwidth is limited by the computer's PCI Express Mini x1 Gen 2 / M.2 bus/interface. The capture resolution (AOI) must be reduced to allow operation within the limits of the PCI Express Mini x1 Gen 2 / M.2 bus/interface. (The PCI Express mini x1 Gen 2 interface has, on most computers, an effective maximum bandwidth of approximately 413 MByte/sec.)
Note 5. The PIXCI® E4 Frame Grabber's capture bandwidth is limited by the computer's PCI Express x4 bus/interface. The capture resolution (AOI) must be reduced to allow operation within the limits of the PCI Express x4 bus/interface. (The PCI Express x4 interface has, on most computers, an effective maximum bandwidth of approximately 777 MByte/sec.) Consider a PIXCI® E8, or PIXCI® E4G2-2F frame grabber, using the PCI Express x8, or PCI Express x4 Gen 2 bus/interface, as an alternative.
