IEEE-1394b PCI Express Card
®
FWB-PCIE-XX
LSI Logic ® PCIe 1394b Link/PHY chip
Two 800Mb/s 1394b locking ports
†
Supports 160MB/s data transfer
†
Acquire images from up to 16 cameras
Users can choose between a single or dual bus option. The dual
bus option allows simultaneous image acquisition from up to 16
cameras, and total data throughput of 160MB/s, using a single
card. The FWB-PCIE effectively leverages the x1 PCIe serial link to
increase throughput and minimize latency, and deep isochronous
FIFO’s minimize the possibilities of data loss due to overflows.
Part Number
FWB-PCIE-01/02
Each card includes a standard size PCIe mounting bracket, low
profile PCIe mounting bracket, two (2) bilingual 1394b ports with
locking screw connection, and internal power connector.
