1.1.1 Framerate calculation

The framerate can be calculated by following these subcalculations:

  1. Calculate the time for a video line: TLine = HMAX*13.468 ns.

  2. Calculate the time for storing the captured image: TCapt = (DY + 33 +  FPGADelay)*TLine + 3.3us.

  3. Calculate the total time: TTotal = ShutterTime + TCapt.

FPGADelay in NrOfProcessingLines, between 7 and 38, depending on the filter configuration; main impact has the bgSubKy setting (see the libvclinux documentation).

  • The measurements were done without any other CPU load.
    Parallel image processing tasks may lead to a lower framerate.

  • These values are only reachable if image capturing is deactivated.
