Example1: 1394b bandwidth of PIKE cameras
Example 2: More than one PIKE camera at full speed
Due to the fact that one Pike camera can, depending on its settings, saturate a
32-bit PCI bus, you are advised to use either a PCI Express card and/or multiple
64-bit PCI bus cards, if you want to use 2 or more Pike cameras simultaneously
(see the following table).

bit depths or color modes will double or triple bandwidth
requirements.
