8.4.4 Auto L/R channel balance (Registers 0xA0B8, 0xA0BC)
The AM-1600GE and AB-1600GE have a dual-tap readout architecture, with a Left (L) and
Right (R) channel. In order to achieve the same gain and black level for both channels, the
AM-1600GE and AB-1600GE have independent control for L channel and R channel gain and
offset. In order to balance both channels, the balancing uses L channel as the reference and R
channel is adjusted so as to have the same level as that of L channel for both gain and offset.
For channel balancing, one-push operation or manual control can be applied.
Note: R/L channel balance must be set in Normal mode.
8.5. Other functions
8.5.1 Bayer White Balance (Register 0xA0D0) (AB-1600GE only)
Normally, the raw Bayer color signals are sent to the host PC as they are. In the host PC, the
signals are interpolated to generate an RGB image and perform white balance.
In order to offload the host , the AB-1600GE can adjust Gr, R, Gb and B levels individually to
get the white balance for the Bayer output signal. The gain is fixed to 1.0 for AM-1600GE.
The Bayer White Balance function includes manual white balance and one-push auto white
balance.
Note: Bayer white balance must be set in Normal mode.
8.5.2 Automatic Gain Control(Registers, 0xA0B0 AGC select/0xA0B4 AGC reference)
This function maintains a constant output level in accordance with ambient brightness
changes. This function is controlled by the set AGC command, which may be set to ON or OFF.
The range for Automatic gain control is from -3dB to +12dB.
Note: This is available only in Normal mode.
