Send images from NI CVS to host at high rate

[Barjak]

I have NI CVS 1456 and 3 IEEE 1394 cameras(Basler A102f). I need to aquire 8 bit images with 1000*1000 pixels. Every camera should acquire maximum 4 images per second. Currently, I am developing the algorithm using only one camera.
I use TCP communication method and when send image without compresson only 1 image per second can be transfered. When I compress image it is possible to send about 5 image. Now, I think, problem is that NI CVS can't compress more than 5 image per second. NI CVS and host are connected via crossover cable. What is maximum number of images that can be transfered from CVS to host per second? Which network communication method should I use to achive that?

Hello,

Make sure you are compressing your images properly. Look at the following Knowledge Base to verify the method.
Compressed images will transfer faster over the network because of their smaller size. But the network and computer speeds will determine the maximum number of images that you can transfer over the network.
Depending upon what programming language you are using, you can refer to the following Document to check out different ways to send images across a network.
Good luck with your application and have a great day!
