Maximum Internal Pattern Rate

hello,

I am new to lightcrafter, in the user’s guide there is an equation
regarding to internal pattern rate, where it said Pattern Rate = (1/Pattern
Exposure Period) + (Bit Plane Load Time) + (Buffer Rotate Overhead),
I find this equation quite wrong, because on the right hand side, I believe the
unit is in Hz, but the left hand side is Hz plus time. Currently I want to achieve
2880 fps of bit plain structured light patterns, with typical bit plane load
time = 230µs and buffer rotate overhead = 135µs, if the equation above was
indeed “Pattern Rate = 1/(Pattern Exposure Period + Bit Plane Load Time + Buffer
Rotate Overhead)” the maximum pattern rate I can get is 1/(250 + 230 + 135)us =
1626Hz, this is quite contradictory to Table 3-2 in the user guide of 4000Hz, monochrome,
1 bit per pixel, 96patterns. Can someone tell me where I am wrong?

    Hello Hai,

    The 4000Hz can be achieved only on the following conditions.

    For 1 bit patterns the Bit Plane Load time and Exposure period can be overlapped, provided you set the exposure time to 0

    If the number of patterns are within 24 then the Buffer Rotate overhead does not come into account.

    ie.

    Bit Depth = 1

    Number of Patterns <= 24

    Exposure Time = 0

    Period = 250

    Regarding your first question about the equation, yes, there is a typo in the usage of braces.

    The correct equation is:

    Pattern Rate = 1/((Exposure Time) + (Bit Plane Load Time) +( Buffer Rotate Overhead))

    Hai,

    See this posting for a little more information. We are reviewing an update on the DLPC300 SW Programmer's Guide that explains how to program the DLPC300 for these speeds. We will post it as soon as we complete our review.
