Features

Output Video and Camera Control

Maximum resolutions of output window:
1600 x 1200, full resolution mode
Frame rate at resolution (24 MHz)*:
10 fps at 1600 x 1200
14 fps at 1280 x 1024
22.7 fps at 1024 x 768
34.6 fps at 800 x 600
37 fps at 768 x 576
50 fps at 640 x 480
79.6 fps at 400 x 400
145 fps at 320 x 240
Output bits per pixel:
Selectable, 8 bits or 10 bits
Lookup table:
Downloadable for user selected 8 bits mode: converts 10 bits of imaging chip's ADC to 8 bits of output
Pixel rates:
12 MHz, 24 MHz
Exposure range (at maximum resolution), ms:
min: 0.07 (at 24 MHz); max: more than 2.5 sec (with fps decrease)
Pixel gain control:
Programmable hardware gain controls for R, G, B: 48 gain levels from 1 to 15
From 1 to 4 with increment 0.125;
from 4.25 to 8 with increment 0.25;
from 9 to 15 with increment 1
Output window modes:
View port (from 1600 x 1200 to 8 x 8 with 2 pixels/2 lines step positioning)
Frame Decimation (1:1, 1:2, 1:4, 1:8)
Horizontal "mirroring", hardware
Vertical "flipping", hardware
Gamma, brightness and contrast control:
Programmable with lookup table

* Listed frame rate values at the defined resolutions are not the maximal possible. Increasing of frame rate can be done by reducing the current Exposure value (the lower Exposure the higher frame rate is), hiding the active video window, running the camera on a faster computer, etc.
