Image Structure
Descriptions
CMOS A/D Bits
Determines the amount of tonal information available from
the image sensor. Bit depth options are 8 bits, 10 bits, or 12
bits. Faster frame rates are possible at lower bit depths.
Bit Shift
Changes the relative weighting of the output data by shifting
bits to the left or to the right by a number of bit positions
(positions are 1x, 2x, 3x, up to 7x).
CL Out Bits
Sets the number of bits per pixel output to the Camera Link
output. Options are 8, 10, and 12 bits.
CL Output Format
Sets the number of Camera Link output taps used. Options are
Base (2 taps), Medium (4 taps), and Full (8 taps).
Camera Link cameras require a frame grabber device on the computer for capturing
individual frames
from the camera’s video stream. Be sure to set the number of camera
link taps in the frame grabber to match the number of camera link taps coming out of the
camera.
Camera Link Base and Medium support 8, 10, or 12-bit output whereas Camera Link Full
only supports 8 or 10 bits per pixel.
3.9.8 Image Correction
The camera provides image correction with preloaded defect maps and tables (static) and
without preloaded defect maps or tables (dynamic).
