Setting Up Image Acquisition Hardware
2-9
30 frames per second (30 Hz). The CCIR and PAL standards define a frame rate of 25
Hz. Nonstandard devices can be configured to operate at higher rates. Generic Windows
image acquisition devices, such as webcams, might support many different frame rates.
Depending on the device being used, the frame rate might be configurable using a device-
specific property of the image acquisition object.
The rate at which the Image Acquisition Toolbox software can process images depends
on the processor speed, the complexity of the processing algorithm, and the frame rate.
Given a fast processor, a simple algorithm, and a frame rate tuned to the acquisition
setup, the Image Acquisition Toolbox software can process data as it comes in.
