INSTALLED MEMORY

The PIXCI CL3SD is available with 1, 2, 3, or 4 Gigabytes of on-board Synchronous DRAM.
HORIZONTAL RESOLUTION

The maximum horizontal resolution is 1280 pixels. Horizontal resolution can be reduced in 10-pixel increments.
Reduced horizontal resolution requires less memory per frame resulting in the ability to capture more images.
VERTICAL RESOLUTION

Reduced vertical resolution increases frame rate. Vertical resolution can be windowed providing maximum frame rates from 500 to 16,000 fps.
Example:

Image resolution of 170×128 provides a 4:3 aspect ratio. Frame rate = 4000 fps. Approximately 197,300 frames can be captured into 4GB of memory (sequence duration of 49 seconds).
CAPTURE RATE

The capture rate increases with reduced vertical resolution. (16,000 fps maximum)
MAXIMUM FRAMES PER SEQUENCE

Calculated by dividing the amount of On-Board Memory by the Horiz x Vertical Res of a single frame.
SEQUENCE DURATION

Calculated by dividing the Maximum Frames In Sequence by the Capture Rate.
DISPLAY RATE WHILE CAPTURING

During image capture, images are displayed on the computer monitor subject to the performance of the computer&qout;s CPU, motherboard, and S/VGA system. The size of the displayed image, and selected display options, also affect performance. EPIX has verified a display rate of 21 – 62 Hz using XCAP&qout;s default display settings (2.0 GHz Pentium 4 CPU; Intel motherboard with AGP).
