Camera Interface
2.2.2.3 Pixel Data
Pixel data are transmitted as isochronous data packets according to version 1.20 of the "1394 -
based Digital Camera Specification" issued by the 1394 Trade Association. The first packet of
each frame is identified by a 1 in the sync bit of the packet header.
The video data for each pixel is output in an 8 bit format. Thus the range of intensity for each pixel
includes 256 gray levels. The digital gray value of 0 corresponds to black and the digital gray value
of 255 to white.
2.2.3 IEEE 1394 Device Information
The A101
uses an IEEE 1394a compliant physical layer device to transmit pixel data. Detailed
f
spec sheets for devices of this type are available at the Texas Instruments web site (www.ti.com).
