Sub-sampling (MARLIN F-131B/C,
MARLIN F-146C and MARLIN F-201C)
What is sub-sampling?
Definition
Sub-sampling is the process of skipping neighboring pixels (with the same
color) while being read out from the CMOS or CCD chip.
Which Marlin models have sub-sampling?
•
All CMOS equipped Marlin models, both color and b/w have this feature
(FW > 2.03).
•
The CCD models Marlin F-146C and Marlin F-201C are also equipped with
this mode, acting as a preview mode. Because it is realized digitally
there is no further speed increase.
Description of sub-sampling
Sub-sampling is used primarily for the following reasons:
•
A reduction in the number of pixels and thus the amount of data while
retaining the original image area angle and image brightness
•
CMOS: an increase in the frame rate.
Similar to binning mode the cameras support horizontal, vertical and h+v
sub-sampling mode.
Have a look at the following table to check availability of the different sub-
sampling modes (h=horizontal, v=vertical).
Format_7 Mode_1
Only Marlin F-131B/C: By default use
Format_7 Mode_1
for
•
b/w cameras:
1 out of 2 horizontal sub-sampling
•
color cameras: 2 out of 4 horizontal sub-sampling
The different sub-sampling patterns are shown below.
