Frame rate

Detector, interface and application timing

CAMCUDA WIKIUpdated 29 October 20262 min read

The rate of detector updates or delivered frames, depending on which stage is specified.

What it means

Frame rate can refer to the detector, transmitted video or application processing. Those rates need not be the same, and a repeated frame is different from a fresh scene sample.

Correction events, encoding and buffering can affect fresh-frame delivery. A detector’s nominal update rate does not establish the latency of an entire system.

In practice

Integration note

Measure delivered frame timestamps under the actual firmware and workload. Confirm whether a quoted value refers to the detector or the selected output mode.
