Note 1. The PIXCI® EL1DB Imaging Board's capture bandwidth is limited by the computer's PCI Express x1 bus. The capture resolution (AOI) or bits per pixel must be reduced to allow operation within the limits of the PCI Express x1 bus. (The PCI Express x1 bus has a theoretical bandwidth of 2.5 GBit/sec., and, on most computers, an effective maximum of approximately 200 MByte/sec.)

Note 2. The PIXCI® EL1 Imaging Board's capture bandwidth is limited by the computer's PCI Express x1 bus.
