7.1. CCD Sensor Layout
The CCD sensor layout with respect to pixels and lines used in the timing and video full frame
read out is shown below.
Fig.15 CCD sensor layout
Important Note
: By using Optical Black (OB) transfer mode, the user can select whether to
include optical black pixels in the image stream. This is for Horizontal only.
7.2. Vertical Binning (BM-141GE only)
The binning functions can be used to achieve higher frame rate or higher sensitivity. The
drawback is lower resolution.
Vertical binning is done by adding the charge from pixels in adjacent lines in the horizontal
CCD register. Fig.12 shows the vertical binning principle.
