H2 x V2 x: vertical 2 x and horizontal 2 x at the same time; Resolution: horizontal x
½, vertical x ½, Sensitivity is 4 x, pixel frequency is halved, max. frame rate is almost
doubled. “No Binning” sets the camera to full resolution, H1 x 2 and 2 x 1 binning is
also available
If you need other binning mode configurations consult factory or your nearest
distributor.
Please note:
Using binning with a color version of the camera will cause
incorrect colors and strange effects!
However, for fast focusing it might be useful.
Pixel depth (8 Bit, 12 Bit, 16 Bit, if supported by camera)
Color (On/Off)
Bayer method (Disabled, Nearest neighbor, Simple, Bilinear, HQ Linear, Edge Sense,
Gray)
Factors for white balance (Red, Green, Blue)
“Balance” button for performing automatic white balance
“Equalize” button for setting all colors to 100%
Freeze (display switched off while acquisition continuous, for test purposes)
In addition the number of transferred frames is displayed as well as the number of
eventually lost frames. A frame loss may happen for example in case of an insufficient
network bandwidth or if the network connection gets interrupted for a short time or in
case of other network failures.
Further the number of resent network packets is displayed. The second number is the
last resent packet number and the first number indicates the total number of resent
packets.

Gain
The gain panel allows for adjusting gain and Autogain with the following controls:
The default gain setting is “0” dB. You may change the gain up to 6 dB (or higher) in
steps of 1/10
th
. Note that the dark offset will increase and dynamic range will not be
improved. Please note that noise also is amplified. For good image quality do not
increase gain more than 6 dB;
higher Gain is possible but not specified!
Please note that the CCD is used with 2 outputs.
Therefore there are a “right”
and a “left” image half. If you use the slider both channels are amplified. However
depending on the amplifications there might be different values necessary in order to
make both channels equal.
Fine tuning in “Gain Value” is necessary.
It is still
possible to have 1-2 counts difference between both image halfs.
This is NOT a
camera problem and must be adjusted by an experienced user. Same is true
for the offset.
Gain (0…..18 dB) (The edit field allows for an extended gain up to about +36 dB,
dependent on the camera’s capabilities)
Autogain function can be enabled to avoid manual tuning. Note that
Continuous tap balancing needs a few frames to adjust !!
Note that this is performed inside the PC and not inside the camera.
