to a network adapter in the host PC. The Ethernet controller also handles transmission and receipt
of control data such as changes to the camera’s parameters.
The image buffer between the sensor and the Ethernet controller allows data to be read out of the
sensor at a rate that is independent of the data transmission rate between the camera and the host
computer. This ensures that the data transmission rate has no influence on image quality.
