The frame rate increases proportionally based on number of TAP configration.
Below is reference information for frame rate difference between TAP configuration.
Number of TAP | Frame rate |
2TAP | Twice faster than 1TAP |
3TAP | 1.5 times faster than 2TAP |
4TAP | 1.3 times faster than 3TAP |
8TAP | Twice faster than 4TAP |
10TAP | 1.25 times faster than 8TAP |
1TAP, 2TAP and 8bits 3TAP are one Camera Link cable configuration.
10bits 3TAP, 12bits 3TAP,4TAP, 8TAP and 10TAP are two Camera Lin cable configration.
There is some restriction for cable as below when using Camera Link camera with 10TAP and 85MHz configuration.
1. Please uses shorter than 3m cable.
2. Please uses high performance cable when more than 5m cable is required.
If it is difficult to follow these restrictions, it is necesasry to reduce data transmission speed (10TAP and 60MHz or slow).
It is possible to have some restriction for change resolution based on frame grabber manufacture or type of frame grabber board.
For example:
It is necessary to specify multiple of 48 for horizontal size (x size, width) when selecting 3TAP configuration.
It is necessary to specify multiple of 80 for horizontal size (x size, width) when selecting 10TAP configuration.
Please contact frame grabber board manufacture about restriction between selective TAP configuration and resolution.
STC-OSx250CL cameras do not support PoCL.
It is necessary to switch Off for PoCL function of Camera Link frame grabber board when using PoCL supporting Camera Link frame garabber board.
