4 EMVA 1288
With regard to signal to noise ratio in this manual, specifications measured by EMVA 1288 are used
together with specifications by a traditional measurement method.
EMVA 1288 is a more complete measurement that considers multiple noise sources, including
random noise, pattern noise, and shading. Additionally, EMVA 1288 incorporates temporal variances
in pixel output by capturing 100 frames of data and computing the RMS variations over the captured
frames. Because of the comprehensive nature of the noise analysis and the additional consideration
for RMS variances over time, EMVA 1288 SNR measurements are inherently lower than the traditional
SNR measurements given by manufacturers. However, the comprehensive nature combined with
rigid test parameters, means that all manufacturers are measuring their products equally and EMVA
1288 tested parameters can be compared among different manufacturers’ products.
