For Camera Link cameras, how does the TAP configuration affect the frame rate?

The frame rate increases proportionally with the number of TAP configurations.
When the bit depth is the same, the frame rate differences can be estimated as follows.

Number of TAPFrame Rate
2TAPApproximately twice as fast as 1 TAP
3TAPApproximately 1.5 times as fast as 2 TAP
4TAPApproximately 1.3 times as fast as 3 TAP
8TAPApproximately twice as fast as 4 TAP
10TAPApproximately 1.25 times as fast as 8 TAP

1 TAP, 2 TAP, and 3 TAP (8bits) configurations require only one Camera Link cable.
3 TAP (10bits), 3 TAP (12bits), 4 TAP, 8 TAP, and 10 TAP configurations require two Camera Link cables.
