  • Page 49: Bandwidth And Frame Rates

    Because of the additional data for packing information, Alvium FP3/GM2 cameras have a reduced bandwidth for image transfer compared to 1500 C and 1800 C. Therefore, Alvium FP3/GM2 models with a high resolution do not reach the maximum frame rates available with Alvium 1500 C or 1800 C models.
