Description of the data path
Frame memory
An image is normally captured and transported in consecutive steps. The image
is taken, read out from the sensor, digitized and sent over the Gigabit Ethernet
network. Mako cameras are equipped with a RAM.
Table 29
shows how many
frames can be stored by each model.
The memory operates according to the FIFO (first in, first out) principle. This
makes addressing for individual images unnecessary.

Note
The number of frames (StreamHoldCapacity) depends on
resolution, pixel format, and packet size. Stated number
of frames is typical for full resolution, Mono8/Bayer8,
and GevSCPSPacketSize = 8192.
