ImageFormat 

 

ROI -

 Region of Interest. Defines a rectangular sub-region of the image. Selecting an ROI that is small can increase the maximum frame 

rate and reduce the amount of image data. The following parameters define the size and location of the ROI sub-region:  
 

Height

 - In rows. The vertical size of the rectangle that defines the ROI. 

RegionX

 - In pixels. The X position of the top-left corner of the ROI  

RegionY

 - In pixels. The Y position of the top-left corner of the ROI 

Width

 - In columns. The horizontal size of the rectangle that defines the ROI.  

 

PixelFormat -

 The various pixel data formats the camera can output. Not all cameras have every mode: 

 

Mono8

 

 8 bits per pixel, monochrome. On camera interpolation, with luminance (Y) channel returned. For 10 bit (CMOS) or 12 bit 

(CCD) sensors, the most significant 8 bits are returned. 

Mono16

 - 16 bits per pixel, monochrome. On camera interpolation, with luminance (Y) channel returned. For 10 bit (CMOS) or 12 

bit (CCD) sensors, the data is least significant bit aligned within the 16 bit word. That is: 0000xxxx xxxxxxxx. 

Bayer8

 

 8 bits per pixel, raw un-interpolated data from camera. SampleViewer interpolates the data in software. For 10 bit (CMOS) 

or 12 bit (CCD) sensors, the most significant 8 bits are returned. 

Bayer16

 

 16 bits per pixel, raw un-interpolated data from camera. SampleViewer interpolates the data in software. For 10 bit 

(CMOS) or 12 bit (CCD) sensors, the data is least significant bit aligned within the 16 bit word. That is: 0000xxxx xxxxxxxx. 

RGB24

 

 24 bits per pixel, on-camera interpolated color. 

YUV411

 

 12 bits per pixel, on-camera interpolated color. 

YUV422

 

 16 bits per pixel, on-camera interpolated color. 

YUV444

 

 24 bits per pixel, on-camera interpolated color. 

BGR24

 

 24 bits per pixel, on-camera interpolated color. 

RGBA24

 

 24 bits per pixel, support for post overlay, on-camera interpolated color. 

 

TotalBytesPerFrame

 

 Read only. The total number of bytes per image frame. Dependant on ROI, PixelFormat, and Binning. 

ImageMode 

 
Binning is the summing of charge of adjacent pixels on a sensor, to give a lower resolution but more sensitive image. 
 

BinningX 

 The horizontal binning factor.   

BinningY 

 The vertical binning factor. In most cases BinningX and BinningY would be set to equal values.  

Info 

 

CameraName

 

 Read/Write. The camera name can be modified by the user using the SampleViewer or PvAPI. 

Firmware 

Read only. What firmware is currently loaded on the camera. 
 

FirmwareVerBuild 

 Build information 

FirmwareVerMinor 

 The minor part of Firmware version number (part after the decimal) 

FirmwareVerMajor 

 The major part of the Firmware version number (part before the decimal) 

 

ModelName

 - The camera model. 

 

Part 

When quoting the serial number to AVT Canada Inc, use the PartNumber - PartVersion - SerialNumber format, ie. 2201A-060512. 
 

PartNumber 

 Camera part number.Prosilica part number for the camera model. 

PartRevision 

 Camera revision. Part number revision level 

PartVersion 

 Camera version. Part number version level 

SerialNumber 

 Camera serial number.
