I am actually doing something quite similar, but I am using a standard
camera with a frame grabber.
The issue I am facing is related to synchronization and data processing.
For example I calculate the x and y profiles of a electron beam.
But while I can acquire image at 30Hz, epics can only process the
information at a maximum rate of 10Hz.
Is there a work around?
Is it possible to do real time video with epics?

This makes it ideal for devices that need to transfer high priority data in real-time, such as video devices. It is also fast (400Mbit/sec) (53 frames/sec @ 1Byte and 1024*768 pixels and 80% usable bandwidth), actually, this is more than what the EPICS video server PC can process. The EPICS video server grabs the frames from the camera, process them, and then allow any CA enabled client application to access the processed data, this way we save our network bandwidth.
