Latency is mostly affected by the device driver for any source.  Even some of the professional capture boards have relatively high latency, but typically Firewire or USB based devices will have much higher processing time in the driver than an uncompressed PCIe card.

yeah, just make sure it is uncompressed fw to avoid latency.

Hello list,

I'm looking for a good camera (FireWire or USB) working on MacOSX
with Pd and GEM.
This camera will be used to track people in a closed space with lights.
Do you know a good model for this application (industrial camera ?) ?
Thanx.
