Image settings
4.2.1 Automatic Exposure
Here, image sizes and frame rates can be selected. Image size is limited by sensor parameters,
however, smaller images can be selected.
The LCam supports two independent streams with the same content on different ports, one full-size
and one scaled-down.
When the image size is set to values smaller than half the linear sensor pixel number (see data sheet
below) binning is enabled, first ½, later ¼. Binning is very useful in low-light situations, since the
effective pixel size is increased by 4 resp. 16.
Be sure to set the frame rate if slow refresh is observed.
Note: by clicking on Open image… at the bottom a live image is displayed, so adjustments can be
judged.
