Article 326:

Accessing the on-camera frame buffer

SUMMARY:
This article describes how users can directly interact with the on-board frame buffer of a supported camera through the registry.

APPLICABLE PRODUCTS :
Grasshopper • Flea3 FireWire • Grasshopper2 GigE •

ANSWER:

Some Point Grey cameras have on-board memory that can be used for temporary image storage. This frame buffer has been shown to be useful in a number of different scenarios. Most of these
scenarios fall into one of two categories:

Cases where retransmission of an image is required due to data loss or corruption
Multiple camera configurations where there is not enough bandwidth to capture sequences
in the desired configuration.
