Configuration of the camera
AFE channel compensation (channel balance)
All KODAK Pike sensors 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.
Channel gain adjustment (Pike color cameras: only RAW8 and RAW16) for both
channels can be done via the following two advanced registers:
You can save the current value in the user sets and set to default value.
Dual-tap offset adjustment
(only for the following Pike cameras having KODAK/SONY sensors with two chan-
nels: Pike F-032/Pike F-210/Pike F-421/Pike F-505/Pike F-1100/
Pike F-1600)
For fine tuning of both channels a so-called dual-tap offset adjustment is possi-
ble: in addition to channel gain adjustment also an offset adjustment can be
done. This will lead to a (nearly) perfect channel compensation for all grey val-
ues.
Offset adjustment (Pike color cameras: only RAW8 and RAW16) for both channels
can be done via the following two advanced registers.
