BT878 PCI usage

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Does anyone have an idea how much PCI bus time
a Hauppauge WinTVGo (bt878) card uses if it's capturing
YV12 720x480 at 30fps

I ask because, as stated in a previous e-mail, I'm having trouble getting
two card capture to work smoothly. I'm wondering if the PCI bus is getting
overloaded.

The number of bytes that have to be moved across the bus is easy enough to
calculate - 720x480x30x12/8 = 15,552,000. Certainly two of these would
be pushing the limit of the PCI bus, but that's assuming a single byte per
PCI cycle, an assumption that is most probably not valid. (I don't know much
about the PCI bus).

Can anyone enlighten me?
