5.4.3 Binning (Command : BNC) (Only for AM-800CL)
This function is available only for AM-800CL. In binning mode, adjacent pixels in the
horizontal direction and/or vertical direction are combined and output as one pixel. The
possible combinations are shown below.
Fig. 16 Binning modes
Binning achieves a higher frame rate, as well as better sensitivity.
On the other hand, the resolution becomes less than the full frame readout.

5.4.4 Bayer output pattern
The AB-800CL starts with GRG on odd lines and BGB on even lines as shown below. If AOI is
used, Offset Y can be set every 2 lines and therefore, it always starts with a GRG sequence.
