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 PIKE camera to your laptop at full speed. Alternatively laptops with
an additional 1394 ExpressCard interface can be used.
