Channel balance
All
ON
Semiconductor
Pike
sensors
and
the
Sony
Semiconductor
sensor
(of
Pike
F-505)
are
read
out
via
two
channels:
the
first
channel
for
the
left
half
of
the
image
and
the
second
channel
for
the
right
half
of
the
image
(divided
by
a
central
vertical
line).
All
ON
Semiconductor
equipped
cameras
come
with
a
sensor-specific
pre-
adjusted
channel
balance.
However
in
some
cases
it
may
be
advantageous
to
carry
out
a
fine
adjustment
with
the
so-called
channel
balance.
To
carry
out
a
gain
adjustment
in
an
advanced
register,

To
carry
out
a
dual-tap
offset
adjustment
in
an
advanced
register,

Figure 36: Block diagram: color models
Note
Pike
F-1100
and
Pike
F-1600
can
also
be
used
in
single-tap
readout
mode,
to
prevent
channel
balance
related
problems.
