3.9.1 Master AOI
The Master AOI (MAOI) determines the current image size. You define the MAOI by
specifying horizontal and vertical size dimensions and offset coordinates. The size
dimensions specify the width and height of the AOI in pixels. The offset coordinates define
the boundaries of the AOI.
Mode
: A drop-down lets you select the following MOAI modes:
Master AOI Modes
Descriptions
All Pixels
The entire image area is used.
Faster Frame Rate
Each AOI is read out sequentially without any vertical blanking to
achieve the maximum possible frame rate.
Keep Frame Rates
The vertical size of the AOI can affect frame rates. The camera adds a
vertical blanking interval after the image readout to maintain the
frame rate.
3.9.2 Slave AOI
The Slave AOI (SAOI) is nested inside the Master AOI. You might use the SAOI for a region
of interest for automatic gain control (AGC)/automatic exposure control (AEC), auto white
balance (AWB), or LUT.
Mode
: A drop-down lets you select the following SOAI modes:
Slave AOI Modes
Descriptions
Off
Turns off all modes.
Include
Displays the Master AOI image with the Slave AOI image
included (the area outside of the Slave AOI appears black).
Exclude
Displays the Master AOI with the Slave AOI excluded (the
Slave AIO appears black).
AGC/AEC ROI Include
Displays the Slave AOI image with Slave AOI AGC/AEC settings
included.
AGC/AEC ROI Exclude

excluded.
AWB ROI Include

included.
AWB ROI Exclude

excluded.
LUT ROI Include
Displays the Slave AOI image based on a lookup table.
LUT ROI Exclude
Displays the Slave AOI image not based on a lookup table.
3.9.3 Binning
Binning combines charges from adjacent pixels to enable faster readout speeds and
improved signal to noise ratios. It also reduces spatial resolution. Binning is supported in
all monochrome models except the C2420Z camera.
