Note 1. The PIXCI® EL1DB(Rev7+) Frame Grabber's capture bandwidth is limited by the computer's PCI Express x1 Gen 2 bus/interface. The bandwidth is sufficient for a single camera, but may not be sufficient for multiple cameras sharing a single PIXCI® EL1DB(Rev7+) Frame Grabber. (The PCI Express x1 Gen 2 interface has, on most computers, an effective maximum bandwidth of approximately 413 MByte/sec.) Consider a PIXCI® E4DB, PIXCI® E8DB, or PIXCI® E4G2-4B frame grabber, using the PCI Express x4, PCI Express x8, or PCI Express x4 Gen 2 bus/interface, as an alternative.

Note 2. The PIXCI® EL1DB Frame Grabber's capture bandwidth is limited by the computer's PCI Express x1 bus/interface. The capture resolution (AOI) must be reduced to allow operation within the limits of the PCI Express x1 bus/interface. (The PCI Express x1 interface has, on most computers, an effective maximum bandwidth of approximately 190 MByte/sec.) Consider a PIXCI® E4DB, PIXCI® E8DB, or PIXCI® E4G2-4B frame grabber, using the PCI Express x4, PCI Express x8, or PCI Express x4 Gen 2 bus/interface, as an alternative.

Note 3. The PIXCI® EL1 Frame Grabber's capture bandwidth is limited by the computer's PCI Express x1 bus/interface. The capture resolution (AOI) must be reduced to allow operation within the limits of the PCI Express x1 bus/interface. (The PCI Express x1 interface has, on most computers, an effective maximum bandwidth of approximately 190 MByte/sec.) Consider a PIXCI® EL1(Rev7+), PIXCI® E4, PIXCI® E8, or PIXCI® E4G2-2F frame grabber, using the PCI Express x1 Gen 2, PCI Express x4, PCI Express x8, or PCI Express x4 Gen 2 bus/interface, as an alternative.

Note 4. The PIXCI® ECB2 Frame Grabber's capture bandwidth is limited by the computer's ExpressCard/54 bus/interface. The capture resolution (AOI) must be reduced to allow operation within the limits of the ExpressCard/54 bus/interface. (The ExpressCard (PCI Express x1) interface has, on most computers, an effective maximum bandwidth of approximately 190 MByte/sec.)

Note 5. The PIXCI® ECB1-34 Frame Grabber's capture bandwidth is limited by the computer's ExpressCard/34 bus/interface. The capture resolution (AOI) must be reduced to allow operation within the limits of the ExpressCard/34 bus/interface. (The ExpressCard (PCI Express x1) interface has, on most computers, an effective maximum bandwidth of approximately 190 MByte/sec.)

Note 6. The PIXCI® miniH2B Frame Grabber's capture bandwidth is limited by the computer's PCI Express Mini x1 Gen 2 / M.2 bus/interface. The bandwidth is sufficient for a single camera, but may not be sufficient for multiple cameras sharing a single PIXCI® miniH2B Frame Grabber. (The PCI Express mini x1 Gen 2 interface has, on most computers, an effective maximum bandwidth of approximately 413 MByte/sec.)

Note 7. The PIXCI® EB1mini Frame Grabber's capture bandwidth is limited by the computer's PCI Express Mini x1 bus/interface. The capture resolution (AOI) must be reduced to allow operation within the limits of the PCI Express Mini x1 bus/interface. (The PCI Express mini x1 interface has, on most computers, an effective maximum bandwidth of approximately 190 MByte/sec.)

Note 8. The PIXCI® EB1-PoCL Frame Grabber's capture bandwidth is limited by the computer's PCI Express x1 bus/interface. The capture resolution (AOI) must be reduced to allow operation within the limits of the PCI Express x1 bus/interface. (The PCI Express x1 interface has, on most computers, an effective maximum bandwidth of approximately 190 MByte/sec.)

Note 9. The PIXCI® EB1 Frame Grabber's capture bandwidth is limited by the computer's PCI Express x1 bus/interface. The capture resolution (AOI) must be reduced to allow operation within the limits of the PCI Express x1 bus/interface. (The PCI Express x1 interface has, on most computers, an effective maximum bandwidth of approximately 190 MByte/sec.)

Note 10. The PIXCI® EC1 Frame Grabber's capture bandwidth is limited by the computer's ExpressCard/54 bus/interface. The capture resolution (AOI) must be reduced to allow operation within the limits of the ExpressCard/54 bus/interface. (The ExpressCard (PCI Express x1) interface has, on most computers, an effective maximum bandwidth of approximately 190 MByte/sec.)
