Pixel gain control:

Programmable hardware gain: 17 gain levels from 0 to 17.4
Separate software gain controls for R, G, B: 17 gain levels from 0.01 to 2 with step 0.01

Output window modes:

View port (from 2208 x 3000 to 8 x 8 with 8 pixels/1 line step positioning)
Frame Decimation (1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:6)
Horizontal "mirroring"
Vertical "flipping"

Gamma, brightness and contrast control:

Programmable with lookup table

Trigger control:

SMX-160x camera utilizes IBIS4 sensor which has no snapshot mode. At the same time, the camera operating in video mode can receive external signal via external connector and mark the current frame. Camera's driver and API allow the user application to distinguish the labeled frame and act according to requirements.

* 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.
