10.3.3 High frame rate mode (Double speed)
In this mode, double speed readout (60fps) can be achieved by shifting the exposure timing for
each sensor by 1/2 frame. Each signal with 1/2 frame offset is read out from each RJ-45
connector respectively.

If this mode is used, the trigger mode should be set at “Continuous”. The maximum shutter
speed is 396L. The following table shows the frame rate.

If trigger in/out is used, select “asynchronous” in the readout mode and input a trigger pulse to
each sensor with 1/2 frame timing offset.

10.3.4 High dynamic range mode
In this mode, high dynamic range can be achieved by setting a different exposure time for each
sensor. To use this mode, set “Readout mode” to “High dynamic range”.
The combining of the two signals uses the ratio of the shutter value for each sensor as the
coefficient. As the composition process can be done regardless of signal levels, the composed
signal is visibly smooth.
There are three built-in HDR modes, or users can choose to perform HDR image composition on
an external host PC:
High dynamic range ( Sync Mode 3)
In this mode, the composite output emphasizes the details captured by the high speed
shutter sensor, while information from the sensor with the slower shutter appears only in
the lowest (darkest) bits of the output.
The formula for the composition process is;
where,
1/m sec : shutter value of BW1
1/n sec : shutter value of BW2
