Hello,
At different places I have found this text about PS3 Eye Cam:

“As you may seen it before, here are the specs:
- 640 x 480 at 60 frames/second
- 320 x 240 at 120 frames/second
...”

but with the CL Eye Driver, when I use CL-Eye Test, or when I use Directshow filter with Graphedit or VLC I always find only a max frame rate of 30 for the 640 x 480 mode.

I have just discover these site today bought this cam this afternoon. So it’s my first try with it. perhaps I miss something.
All works very well in 5 minutes under WIN XP SP3 and a recent dual core.
A very good driver ! thank you!
But only 30 frames/sec in 640 x 480.
I have seen in the SDK that we can configure the framerate parameter
      Camera Framerate - Depending on the selected resolution modes here is the list of allowed framerate values:
        LEYE_QVGA - 15, 30, 60, 75, 100, 125
        CLEYE_VGA - 15, 30, 40, 50, 60, 75
So my question is :
Does the PS3 Eye Cam can work in 640 x480 with 60 frames/sec parameter but the standard driver don’t allow that? (and we must develop with the API to be able to use the 60 value)
or
No the PS3 Eye Cam cannot run in 640 x 480 - 60 fps and thay are errors in the specs and the big values ( 60, 75..) in the API are for other cam?

Or do I have miss thomething?

Thanks for help.

The latest CL-Eye Driver (DirectShow) supports subset of the capture framerates listed above. This is designed for the compatibility with end-user’s software like Skype, MSN, etc.

The CL-Eye SDK provides the extensive API that allows the access to full camera features including unrestricted framerates. So to get 60fps at 640x480 you need to use the SDK API. The framerate values listed below are correct and are for PS3Eye camera:
  CLEYE_QVGA - 15, 30, 60, 75, 100, 125
  CLEYE_VGA - 15, 30, 40, 50, 60, 75

OK
Thanks for your quick answer.

Hello, I’m also having a similar problem. I only have 15 and 30 fps options available in the test app. I’ve tried installing the sdk but it made no difference. I have also tried un-installing the drivers and sdk, rebooting, then installing them by running as administrator but whatever I try, I don’t seem to be able to get 60 fps out of the camera.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Running Win 7 x64.

To get higher frame rate please take a look at this post: http://codelaboratories.com/forums/viewthread/154/P0/

Thanks Alex. Worked first time!

Thank you for spending your time to create this for us!

Thank you for sharing this….......
with a similar configuration : amh phenom 2 - 4gb ram - win 7 x64, i solved the low fps problem changing the vga card. Previously i used an integrated vga card, with poor results,...now with a real vga card i solved all the propblems of low fps…......

Hi Alex, thanks for the above & wonder if you can help a little further.
I have created the cleye.config as instructed but still not seeing anything above 30fps
Running win7 64 bit & would very much welcome some guidance.
Thanks
Jon

Does it require a camera test?
