Control Gain and Black Level
The cameras provide gain and black level adjustments in the digital domain for the CMOS sensor. The
gain and black level controls can make small compensations to the acquisition in situations where
lighting varies and the lens iris cannot be easily adjusted. The user can evaluate gain and black level by
using CamExpert.
The parameters that control gain and black level are grouped together in the Sensor Controls set.
Sensor Controls
Black Level
Apply a digital addition after an FPN correction: ± 1/8 of the available range of

Gain
Set the gain as an amplification factor applied to the video signal across all
pixels: 1x to 10x.
