Requirements for laptop and 1394b
As mentioned above, 1394b requires low latency for data transmission (small
receive-FIFO). In order to get the most out of your camera-to-laptop config-
uration, we recommend the following chipset for your laptop:
•
For Intel-based laptops, chipset 915 (or higher)
•
For non-Intel based laptops (e.g. AMD), PCI Express compatible chipset
Because most laptops have (only) one PC-card interface, it is possible to con-
nect one PIKE camera to your laptop at full speed. Alternatively laptops with
an additional 1394 ExpressCard interface can be used.
Note
Recent developments at Apple (TM) allow the INTEL based
Apple computers (both laptops as well as desktops) to run a
Win-OS. This makes it possible to use AVT 1394 camera tech-
nology with the same AVT-SDKs.
The following cardbus adapter for laptops allows the connection of two
industrial screw locking cables (obtainable at AVT).
