Sensitivity Mode and Pixel Readout
The cam era has the op tion to op erate in either high sensitivity (d u al line) or low sensitivity (single line)
m od es, or in tall p ixel m od e.
When in high sensitivity m od e, the cam era u ses both line scan sensors and its resp onsivity increases
accord ingly. When in low sensitivity m od e, the cam era u ses the bottom sensor only. When op erating in
tall p ixel m od e, the cam era op erates u sing both sensors, creating a 28 µm x 14 µm p ixel (1k and 2k
m od els), or a 20 µm x 10 µm p ixel (4k m od el).
The sensitivity m od e is softw are-controlled throu gh the set sensitivity com m and :
ssm
.
Figure 18: High Sensitivity Mode
In high sensitivity m od e, the cam era u ses eith er a 14 µm x 14 µm p ixel (1k and 2k m od els) or a 10 µm x 10
µm p ixel (4k m od el) and cap tu res the sam e im age tw ice, resu lting in a brighter im age.
Figure 19: Low Sensitivity Mode
In low sensitivity m od e, the cam era u ses either a 14 µm x 14 µm p ixel (1k and 2k m od els) or a 10 µm x 10
µm p ixel (4k m od el) and cap tu res the im age u sing one sensor (Sensor 1).
Figure 20: Tall Pixel Mode
In tall p ixel m od e, the cam era u ses a 28 µm x 14 µm p ixel (1k and 2k) or a 20 µm x 10 µm p ixel (4k m od el)
and cap tu res an im age tw o tim es taller than in high or low sensitivity m od es, resu lting in a taller im age.
