Output window modes Viewport from 1920 x 1080 to 16x9;
Vertical Line-Mixing including 3->2, 2->1, 3->1 and 4->1 Modes;
Horizontal Pixel-Binning including 1.5->1, 2->1, 3->1 and 4->1 Modes;
Enhanced Sensitivity 2/3-inch Video Using Pixel Binning and/or Line Mixing
Extended Sensitivity 720/60p (2/3-inch)
Gamma, brightness and contrast control Programmable with lookup table
Hardware Gamma correction

* 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.
