2.5 Pixel Data
Pixel data is transmitted as isochronous data packets according to version 1.30 of the “1394 -
based Digital Camera Specification” (DCAM) issued by the 1394 Trade Association (see the trade
association’s web site: www.1394ta.org). The first packet of each frame is identified by a 1 in the
sync bit of the packet header.
Pixel Data Transmission Sequence
Pixel data is transmitted in the following sequence:
• Row 0/Pixel 0, Row 0/Pixel 1, Row 0/Pixel 2 ... Row 0/Pixel 654, Row 0/Pixel 655.
• Row 1/Pixel 0, Row 1/Pixel 1, Row 1/Pixel 2 ... Row 1/Pixel 654, Row 1/Pixel 655.
• Row 2/Pixel 0, Row 2/Pixel 1, Row 2/Pixel 2 ... Row 2/Pixel 654, Row 2/Pixel 655.
• And so on.
2.6 IEEE 1394 Device Information
The A600f uses an IEEE 1394a - 2000 compliant physical layer device to transmit pixel data.
Detailed spec sheets for devices of this type are available at the Texas Instruments web site
(www.ti.com).
