Note 1. The PIXCI® EL1DB Frame Grabber's capture bandwidth is limited by the computer's PCI Express x1 bus/interface. The bandwidth is sufficient for a single camera, but may not be sufficient for multiple cameras sharing a single PIXCI® EL1DB Frame Grabber. (The PCI Express x1 interface has, on most computers, an effective maximum bandwidth of approximately 190 MByte/sec.) Consider a PIXCI® EL1DB(Rev7+), PIXCI® E4DB, PIXCI® EL1DB(Rev7+), or PIXCI® E8DB frame grabber, using the PCI Express x1 Gen 2, PCI Express x4, PCI Express x1 Gen 2, or PCI Express x8 bus/interface, as an alternative.

Note 2. The PIXCI® ECB2 Frame Grabber's capture bandwidth is limited by the computer's ExpressCard/54 bus/interface. The bandwidth is sufficient for a single camera, but may not be sufficient for multiple cameras sharing a single PIXCI® ECB2 Frame Grabber. (The ExpressCard (PCI Express x1) interface has, on most computers, an effective maximum bandwidth of approximately 190 MByte/sec.)
