8-bit mode:

8 fps at 2592 x 1944, full resolution
50 fps at 1024 x 768
128 fps at 640 x 480

10-bit mode:

6 fps at 2592 x 1944, full resolution
40 fps at 1024 x 768
96 fps at 640 x 480

12-bit mode:

4 fps at 2592 x 1944, full resolution
25 fps at 1024 x 768
64 fps at 640 x 480

Output bits per pixel:

Selectable, 8 bits, 10 bits or 12 bits

Lookup table:

Downloadable for user selected 8 bits mode: converts 11 bits of imaging chip's ADC to 8 bits of output

Pixel rates:

6 – 96 MHz

Exposure range (at maximum resolution), ms:

min: 0.04 (at 48 MHz)
max: 937.72 (at 6.66 MHz)
(up to 31 sec with fps decrease)

Pixel gain control:

Programmable hardware gain control: 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"
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.
