Note 1. The PIXCI® EL1 Imaging Board's capture bandwidth is limited by the computer's PCI Express x1 bus. The capture taps (channels) or frame rate 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® CL2 Imaging Board's capture bandwidth is limited by the computer's PCI 64 Bit bus. The capture taps (channels) or frame rate must be reduced to allow operation within the limits of the PCI 64 Bit bus. (The 64 bit 66 MHz PCI bus has a theoretical bandwidth of 503.54 MByte/sec., and, on most computers, an effective maximum of approximately 400 MByte/sec.)
