  • Page 53: Frame Memory

    Frame memory An image is normally captured and transported in consecutive steps. The image is taken, read out from the sensor, digitized and sent over the Gigabit Ethernet network. Mako cameras are equipped with a RAM. Table 18 shows how many frames can be stored by each model.
