Output Video and Camera Control Characteristics

Maximum resolutions of output window: 2592 x 1944, full resolution mode

Frame rate at resolution (48 MHz)*: 8-bit modification:

8 fps at 2592 x 1944, full resolution

50 fps at 1024 x 768

128 fps at 640 x 480

10-bit modification:

7 fps at 2592 x 1944, full resolution

40 fps at 1024 x 768

96 fps at 640 x 480

12-bit modification:

7 fps at 2592 x 1944, full resolution

37 fps at 1024 x 768

78 fps at 640 x 480

Output bits per pixel:

8-bit modification: 8 bits

10-bit modification: 10 bits

12-bit modification: 12 bits

Pixel rates: 6 – 96 MHz

Exposure range
(at maximum resolution), ms:
min: 0.04 (at 48 MHz)
max: 937.72 (at 6.66 MHz)

Pixel gain control: Programmable hardware gain controls for R, G, B: 161 gain levels from 1 to 128
From 1 to 4 with increment 0.125;
from 4.25 to 8 with increment 0.25;
from 9 to 128 with increment 1

Output window modes: View port (from 2592 x 1944 to 8 x 8 with 2 pixels/2 lines step positioning)
Frame Decimation (1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, 1:6, 1:7, 1:8)
Frame Binning (1:2, 1:4) (averaging and summing modes available)
Horizontal "mirroring", hardware
Vertical "flipping", hardware

Gamma, brightness and contrast control: Programmable with lookup table

* Listed frame rate values at the defined resolutions are not the maximal possible. Increasing of frame rate can be done by reducing the current Exposure value (the lower Exposure the higher frame rate is), hiding the active video window, running the camera on a faster computer, etc.
