Output Video and Camera Control Characteristics

Maximum resolutions of output window: 2208x 3000, full resolution mode
1104 x 1500, decimated by 2 mode

Frame rate at resolution (48 MHz)*: 6 fps at 2208 x 3000, full resolution
31 fps at 1280 x 1024
24 fps at 1104 x 1500
52 fps at 1024 x 768
91 fps at 768 x 576
126 fps at 640 x 480
219 fps at 400 x 400
426 fps at 320 x 240

Output bits per pixel: Selectable, 8 bits or 10 bits

Lookup table: Downloadable for user selected 8 bits mode: converts 10 bits of imaging chip's ADC to 8 bits of output

Pixel rates: 3.33 MHz, 6.66 MHz, 8 MHz, 10 MHz, 12 MHz, 13.33 MHz, 16 MHz, 20 MHz, 24 MHz, 32 MHz, 40 MHz, 48 MHz

Exposure range
(at maximum resolution), ms:
min: 0.93 (at 48 MHz)
max: 2497.57 (at 3.33 MHz)

Pixel gain control: Programmable hardware gain: 17 gain levels from 0 to 17.38

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

* 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.
