Requirements for laptop and 1394b
As mentioned above, 1394b requires low latency for data transmission (small
receive-FIFO). In order to get the most out of your camera-to-laptop config-
uration, we recommend the following chipset for your laptop:
•
For Intel-based laptops, chipset 915 (or higher)
•
For non-Intel based laptops (e.g. AMD), PCI Express compatible chipset
Because most laptops have (only) one PC-card interface, it is possible to con-
nect one Guppy PRO camera to your laptop at full speed. Alternatively laptops
with an additional 1394 ExpressCard interface can be used.
Note
Recent developments at Apple allow the INTEL based Apple
computers (both laptops as well as desktops) to run a
Windows operating system. This makes it possible to use AVT
1394 camera technology with the same AVT-SDKs.
