Image Sensor and color modes
The Colour 16k sensor is
composed of two pairs of sensitive lines.
The Colour version has been completed
with RGB colour Filter and disposed as
detailed beside.
Each pair of lines uses the same Analog
to Digital Column converter (ADC
Column). An appropriate (embedded)
Time delay in the exposure between
each line this allows to combine two
successive exposures in order to double
the sensitivity of a single line.
This Time Delay Exposure is used only in
the Full Definition Enhanced mode (See
Below).
2.2.1
True Colour Enhanced Mode (TCE)
10µm Pixels (R,G,B)
Twice less pixels than B/W
Requires x3/2 the data flow of B&W
High Sensitivity True Color mode:
Equivalent to 6 x Pixels of 5µm (with
their respective colour filters).
“Full Exposure control” not needed in
TC as the TDI is not active (only
binning). The Exposure time can be
control as for a single line mode.
