Photon Focus MV-D1024E-160-CL-12 Camera frame rate problem.

Hi,
I have a photon Focus MV-D1024E-160-CL-12 camera connected with a PCI2-1429 board. I trigger my camera externally using a NI-DAQ and an I/O board to the camera. I am having a problem with the frame rate of my camera. In the manual it says that the camera can operate at 150 fps. When I am triggering at 10Hz the camera works fine. But when I trigger it at 100 Hz the camera does not give me the required fps. I am imaging an analog clock to measure the fps. When I am triggering at 100 Hz I should get just 1sec in images but instead I am getting images of 3sec. I am using the NI-IMAQ sequence example for it. Is it a software problem (e.g. buffer allocation etc) or a hardware limitation.
Regards,
Farhan Ahmad.

Hello Farhan,
You can use the Calculate FPS VI here to display the number of frames/second for your camera.

Live! Cam Video IM Pro VF0410 Frame Rate Problem

Hello I'm from Turkey sorry for my English first. I bought this camera yesterday and i tried it on 2 PC.First one is using Win Vista Home Premium (4Gb RAM + Core 2 Duo E6750),second one is Win XP Home (Gb Ram + Pentium M .8). In these PC's i can't get more than 4 or 5 FPS. I only saw 8 FPS for one second. I downloaded the?latest drivers from the site which is v.0.0 (2.68 Mb).Nothing changed it is 4 FPS again.What can i do what is this problem. Is my camera faulty ?

I too have the same problem. It seems to be a flaw with the software or the hardware. If you disable the auto exposure setting the frame rate will still site at 4-5 fps.
If you then move the exposure slider to the far left and then back to the right the frame rate will immediatley increase to 20-30 fps, but the exposure is quite poor even with the adjustment of brightness, contrast, etc. Is this a software bug or a hardware flaw?

Troubleshooting Dropped Camera Frames

Hi there,
I'm using Point Grey Flea3 gigE cameras in LabVIEW, and on some computers the camera seems to be dropping frames. Though I don't get a blank frame, I get a noisy frame without the objects I am looking at. I have attached two example pictures, one with what I want to see and one with just noise. They are in U16 format.
This problem occurs in my LabVIEW program and in MAX. It occurs when the camera is triggered or not, and even when I set the frame rate low. I never ran into this problem when I developed the application, so I think it has to do with the computers I deploy it to.
The computer that I took these images on does not have "jumbo frame" support, so the packet size is 1440 bytes. I thought this might be problem, but when I set the packet size to 1440 bytes at my desk, the camera works fine.
This may be more of a hardware question dealing with the cameras and network settings, but please let me know if you've dealt with a similar problem. Also, if you have a good idea for detecting and disposing of these noisy images, that might be a work around. Thanks,
gregoryj

Yep, snap and grab work fine* in MAX, LabVIEW program, and point grey software. I've been talking to point grey and the support asked if my cameras go through any switches. At my desk they do not, but in the lab they do. At 2 of 3 stations in the lab we have this problem of dropped frames. At 1 of them though, we do not, and that one actually streams four cameras at once! (at varying resolutions). Perhaps that one has a better switch or ethernet card.
When I get the chance I will go to one of the problem stations and wire the camera directly into the ethernet port to see if the problem goes away. This means removing network access, so it definitely wouldn't be a permanent fix...
*EDIT: When I say work fine, I mean that I can use them, but they do have the problem I've described of dropping frames. I haven't verified that snapping drops frames, that could take a lot of clicks.

My Photoshop says it is up to date, but I am hoping that since this camera just came out, Adobe will have an raw file update soon.

DNG Converter is FREE. Yes, really. No subscription needed.
- Baloney, NOT FREE, it's a proprietary software, not open AT ALL, see Legal Notices, so stop trying to distort the truth here.
Camera Raw (& DNG Converter) 8.7RC has been available since 2nd October, and opens D750 files in Photoshop & Bridge (& Lightroom using DNG Converter).
Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 8.7 Release Candidate | digital camera raw file support - Adobe Labs
- Still a cumbersome process for this of us that PAID for software and support, the whole point of this discussion is to implement this directly on LR, so we, the PAYING users don't have to waste time doing a useless process that could be EASILY AVOIDED ig Adobe released updates as they are needed, or if they OPENED THE SOURCE CODE so the community could do it.
Adobe created DNG, which is a well-documented backwards-compatible format, which is free for any manufacturer to use.
See here for manufacturers who do (it's an old list, but you get the idea):
http://www.barrypearson.co.uk/articles/dng/products_cameras.htm
- Really? Did you actually read the site? It has PRECIOUS information that illustrate my point: Adobe DNG is an attempt to stop the OpenSource community from achieving the goals of OpenRaw, which is TRUE OPENNESS, Again, Adobe is trying to get manufacturers to PAY LICENSING so they use a PROPRIETARY FORMAT that will HOLD CUSTOMERS on a PAID platform. OpenRaw is he answer for a true competitive environment.
Ask yourself why other manufacturers don't use a documented backwards-compatible format.
- Easy, because they are lazy and want kick-back. The SAME answer that I (and the entire OS community) would give if you asked about Acrobat or MS Office.
If you use a particular piece of software as your main tool, and you buy a camera which isn't yet supported by it, it's your problem. There is an expression used in the industry:
"Poor Planning on your part does not constitute an Emergency on my part."
- I agree here, it's MY PROBLEM that I decided to have a better product, it was my choice. I can still use OS Tools, which will be what I do moving forward, and about that expression, that is EXACTLY why Adobe will keep loosing customers, because the sense of urgency to help who pays their bills is inexistent. You are correct, why should they rush something so simple to help a customer right? Screw the customer... Thanks for making my point...

How to change the maximum frame rate of the camera by changing the image size?

I have two acA2040-180km cameras which are connected to 2 NI PCIe-1433 framegrabbers, I am monitoring my cameras by LabView, maximum allowable frame rate is about 187 for full resolution images, but I just need a small fraction of the images, I know if I make the images smaller, FPS will get higher, but it isn't possible by changing the image size in NI MAX, I've also tried to change the size by defining the region of interest in the grab setup.vi, but it would be after going to camera so it isn't the case as well, so I need a VI to go to the camera before starting to take photo and define the region of interest which is going to be captured, would you please help me to find it?
Please help me, this problem get me stuck!!!

Have you tried changing the image size using property nodes as Bruce suggested? Do remember with Basler cameras, reducing the width only will not affect the transfer speed but the reducing the height will. Have a look at the frame calculator to understand what you frame rates you can acheive with certain settings:

Camera publishing frame rate - slow

Hello,
We're creating a video chat app which will work across desktop, iOS and Android.
Everything is working fine except that the published stream suffers from a low frame rate - averaging around 7fps.
This is really annoying especially as the camera is capturing at approx 30fps.
We're using a beefy server running Wowza or AMS but the issue seems to be on the publishing side in the Air app.
Has anyone else experienced this or any one know of optimum settings to get that frame rate higher?
It seems like it might be a bug with Air to be honest as I wouldn't have thought publishing would put that much strain on the CPU to reduce the frame rate that much.
Thanks,
Dave.

Hi Chris,
Sure, we used Scout and it showed the CPU was maxing out over 100%.
When the app wasn't publishing over the NetStream then CPU usage was around 30%. Which in itself seems high when there wasn't anything else going on and no other apps in the background.
This demo app we're using just displays the camera feed using a video object and then publish that feed directly to the streaming server. We've stripped out all other functionality while we address these video issues.
I can ask my guys to provide more detail regarding the Scout reports on Monday morning. But, until then what kind of CPU usage would you expect this process to consume? We're exporting video using the H.264 profile.
Doesn't the native camera utilise H.264 video and so other than encoding the audio to Speex I wouldn't have thought there's too much encoding/transcoding occurring? Just seems odd...
Any advice or ideas much appreciated!
Along these same lines...is there a reason why Air doesn't export/publish the video stream as H.264 and AAC since iOS already provides those? Is it a codec licensing issue? Just curious since Speex really isn't the best quality especially when we're going to be using this in a context where we'll be streaming live music events/gigs.
Thanks,
Dave.

Best frame rates for 4 different cameras in multicam

Well, I've been flopping around in different threads on this forum, but I think the question is beginning to finally take shape for me. Basically it's all about deciding on frame rates for four different cameras I will be using to shoot a 6-day intensive course I will be teaching. The video will be primarily for computer viewing (YouTube, Quicktime movies). Here are the cameras:
2 new Canon cameras capable of frame rates of 60i, 30 frames per second progressive "recorded as 60i", and 24 frames per second progressive also "recorded as 60i" (there is a known issue with importing the 30 frames per second into fcpx, as fcpx does not recognize this as progressive, but ClipWrap can get around this).
1 Sony capable of 60i, 60P, and 24P
1 Sanyo capable of 60i and 30P
Possible settings:
Just do all at 60i, but people say this is not so good for computer viewing
Canon at 30 fps (using ClipWrap to see it gets recognized as progressive), and the Sony and Sanyo at 60i. Will this cause syncing or other problems, mixing frame rates like this? How bad a hit in quality is 60i on computer screens?
Canon and Sanyo at 30 fps, Sony at 60i
Same as #3, but use JES Deinterlacer to get Sony 60i to 30 fps.(I tried this out, by the way, and the resulting frame rate, after deinterlacing, showed up in the inspector window at 30, not 29.97. Is that a problem?
Anyway, I aplogogize for wearing out my welcome on this forum, and I thank everyone for creating such a wonderful bank of information.

Not sure what you're trying to achieve here - for the best overall quality, if possible, choose a frame rate that all the cameras can achieve. That way you won't lose quality in the conversion.
If you're not satisfied with that, you need to do some tests to see which gives you the effect you like best. Nobody here can help you really - it's up to you.

Drop frame rate when start saving avi file with GigE basler camera

Hello all,
I use 2 Ace basler GigE cameras at 60 fps to capture animal locomotion. I experience randomly this kind of problem. When I start to record by a start/stop button and save the videos in the hard-disk sometime the frame rate drop to 20-14 fps and a skip 2 or 3 frame. After that the frame rate became stable to 60 fps.
These are the overall settings and spec of the program:
- I use a producer/consumer loop (I never experienced a filling of the queue even when the drop frame rate occur)
- I fixed the bandwidth of the Intel 100 GigE card to 500 for each camera
- size of packet sent = 8000
- firewall disabled
- vi execution in highest mode
I observed that the dropping of the frame rate occur when the vi run for a while without interaction with the operator (the operator set others parameters in another computer, so the vi only acquire the videos without saving them)
I have attached the vi
Thank you for your help

GRAB 2 CAM SAVE AVI TTL SEND C-P LOOP 0.1.vi ‏151 KB

Alex,
Does this drop in frame rate occur with both cameras or does it only occur with the "left" or "right" camera acquisition loops. I think what is happening is that your producer loop is overwriting the images before they get written to the AVI. In addition there may be some memory conflicts as queues are generally not recommended for IMAQ Images. Here is an explanation stating that instead of enqueuing an Image Object you are actually enqueuing a memory location to an image. This means that when you produce a new image it is writing to the same memory location you are trying to read from when you write the frame to AVI. This forum offers a possible workaround.

Mac os x plus quick cams using UVC = slow frame rates...

well i took your advice and picked up a logitech 9000 pro quickcam. this camera is uvc compatible and works out of the box on my macbook running 10.5.2.
the issue i am now having is that the uvc driver is bare bones and doesn't give any way to change the high resolution and low frame rate. the result is that the camera while very sharp gives unacceptable performance approaching 5 fps in any application including quicktime recording.
any ideas on how to resolve this annoyance? the uvc on the mac is unusable for me at this time because i communicate in American Sign Language and need normal smooth video that one gets with the built in i-sight.
thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, I've not located any OSX drivers or software that allow higher framerates with standard UVC cams. There are a couple of options for you though - run bootcamp and run XP when you need to do signing, using the Windows software and drivers that came with your 9000. Or, buy an old Sony video camera, anything with firewire out will do, and are always available on eBay for about what you paid for the 9000.

I have a Sony Cybershot camera. My problem is that I can't view my panoramic photos properly with iPhoto. Sony says to contact Mac support. Has anyone any info on this prob, please?

Panoramic photos. I have a Sony Cybershot camera. My problem is that I can't view my panoramic photos properly with iPhoto. Sony says to contact Mac support. Has anyone any info on this prob, please?

Not sure what you want - you shoot the photo by doing a sweep and the camera makes a static JPEG that is long (panaromic) and you import it - on the camera and in iPhoto is is a panaromic photo

Why is my iPhone 4S Video Camera Changing Frame Rates?

I've been doing some video tests with my iPhone 4S and I've found that in low lighting situations it's recording video at 24fps instead of the advertised 30fps. In good lighting conditions it's recording at 30fps. It's obvious the camera is compensating for the light with the lower frame rate, however, when I got into iMovie or Quicktime Pro to cut together some footage, the two different frame rates are causing an issue because they aren't consistent. The footage gets jerky and there's audio clicks. None of this happens when they're played individually. Please advise.
ps I downloaded some other video camera apps and even ones that will lock you in at 30fps will still record at 24fps in low light situations, so it has to do with the Phone. Anyone know a workaround for this? Thanks!

You can zoom before you start taking a video, but not after you start the video. Sorry.

Frame rate for camera does not match with AVI output

Hello,
I'm taking a video from a Basler A504K camera of well plate bottoms deflecting down. I have a frame rate indicator from the Vision Acquisition to see at what fps the camera is acquiring images, and I also have a frame rate controller at the IMAQ AVI Create VI.
The problem is when I set the frame rate at the Create VI. The higher I set the frame rate, the fewer frames it seems to take. For example when I play the videos on Windows Media Player, at 10fps, the video length is 60s. At 100fps, the video length is 6s. At 20fps, it's 30s, and at 50fps, it's 12s. Obviously, the video length decreasing by the factor by which I increase the fps. But since higher frames per second videos show a slower/longer videos, since they have more images to display per second?
I need to be able to see a slow increase and decrease in the well deflections smoothly. At high frame rates, the video goes by so fast that I cannot analyze the deflections. At low frame rates, the video is slower, but there are too many missing frames so the deflection is not smooth (ie. you see no deflection one second, and the next, you see the peak deflection without seeing the gradual increase in deflections). It is very hard to find an "ideal" frame rate, so I was wondering if there was another way to control the frame rate such that I have high fps, and longer video lengths?
I'm attaching my VI. The bottom loop is where all the Video and Camera controls are. The top loops is to control pressure gauge and valve (just ignore that loop)
Thank you,

Hi B.J. Kim,
The problem you're seeing with the fps and video length makes sense to me. If you keep the overall frame count constant and change only the rate of playback, then the video time will be indirectly proportional, as you have noticed. Just from simple math, it appears like you kept the video image at a constant of 600 total frames while changing the frame rate between 10, 20, 30fps, etc. If you're looking to have more resolution in you video, maybe you could increase the actual frame rate of acqusition from your camera. You may also try placing a small millisecond wait in your while loop to slow down execution speed.

Excellent frame rate web cam for deaf users

Hello. My son and brother are deaf. I just got a new Dell Latitude E66410. I says it is your camera integrated in the laptop. When doing a yahoo video call with my son and brother, I noticed my video quality is superior to their laptop integrated webcams. The deaf community loves a high frame rate and high resolution for American Sign Language. What camera is in the E6410? Do you sell a USB version iof it? Can a different USB Camera of your offer the same HD quality and near 30FPS. Lots of Web Cams say HD, and 30FPS. This is the first one I have seen that lives up to it! Do your Live Cam series attain this quality. Thoughts or questions? Thanks! Mike

Try to take your processor and call the setRate(float rate); Method from it. I am also using this. It should work.
