Gain and Black Level Control Details
The Linea2 5GigE camera provides Digital Gain and Black Level adjustments. The Gain and Black
Level controls can make small compensations to the acquisition in situations where lighting varies
and the lens iris cannot be easily adjusted. Optimal Gain and Black Level adjustments maximize
the Linea2 5GigE dynamic range for individual imaging situations. The user can evaluate Gain and
Black Level by using CamExpert.
Features and limitations are described below.
•
Black Level offset is expressed as a digital number (DN) providing a +/- offset from the factory
setting. The factory setting optimized the black level offset for maximum dynamic range under
controlled ideal dark conditions.
•
Gain is expressed as a multiplication factor.
Increasing digital gain does not increase the low-level resolution and increases the
sensor noise proportionately.
Features related to Gain and Black Level are found in the Sensor Control Category.
