Image Signal Processing Flow and Camera Control

Preliminary

Scaling

Registers linked to scaling can be automatically adjusted by setting the related mode
variables. In preview mode, these variables need to be adjusted to 1024 x 768 or lower
resolution.

Notes:

1.

At all times, the output sizes above must not exceed the input size to the scaled (crop
sizes).

2.

If the modification in scaling occurs for the current (active) context, a refresh com-
mand (sequence variable 0x0000 = 0x6) is needed to reflect the new values. Otherwise,
a context switch to the targeted context will automatically refresh in these values.

Examples of .ini Settings for Different Output Resolutions

VAR = 26, 0x00, 0x0140 // PRI_A_IMAGE_WIDTH
VAR = 26, 0x02, 0x00F0   // PRI_A_IMAGE_HEIGHT
VAR = 18, 0x2B, 0x0408   // CAM1_CTX_A_OUTPUT_SIZE_WIDTH
VAR = 18, 0x2D, 0x0308   // CAM1_CTX_A_OUTPUT_SIZE_HEIGHT
