2.1.2
Normal Mode – Dual Output
When operating in a dual output mode, the image is split in two equal parts, each
side consisting of half of the horizontal pixels and the full vertical lines. The first
(left) half of the pixels are shifted out of the HCCD register towards the left video
amplifier – Video L, while the second (right) half of the pixels are shifted towards
the right video amplifier – Video R (Figure 2.2). In the horizontal direction the first
half of the image appears normal and the second half is left/right mirrored. The
camera reconstructs the image by flipping the mirrored portion and rearranging the
pixels. Dual output is the default factory mode of operation – refer to the
Configuration Memory section. The image resolutions for different cameras are
shown in Table 2.1, and a frame rates – in Table 2.2.

Center Mode
A.
B0610 and B0620 Models
The ‘center columns’ output mode is available in the B0610 and B0620 camera
models. In this mode the image field has only 228 horizontal pixels located in the
center of the imager – Figure 2.3. When operating in a single output mode, all 228
pixels are shifted out of the HCCD register towards the left video amplifier – Video
L (Figure 2.4). The resulting image has a normal orientation. When operating in a
dual output mode, the image is split in two equal parts, each having 114 pixels and
