P4 2k and 4K color Exposure Time Guidelines
In the P4-CC-02K and P4-CC-04K camera have no limitations on the combinations of the exposure times
available for each color except the maximum of 3ms and the minimum of 7μs exposure times. Operating
the camera with the conditions stated below will give optimum image performance. Operating the
camera beyond the stated limits may be possible but could compromise image quality.
P4-CC-04K Ideal Operating Conditions
For optimum image performance the exposure time for Blue should be great than green or red by more
than 1μs.
P4-CC-02K TriLinear Ideal Operating Conditions
For optimum image performance all of tthe following must be true
1. Blue ≥ Red by 1μs
2. Blue ≥ Green by 1μs or Green ≥ Blue by 1μs
3. Red ≥ Green by 1μs or Green ≥ Red by 1μs
P4-CC-02K QuadLinear Ideal Operating Conditions
For optimum image performance all of the following must be true
1. Blue ≥ Red by 1μs
2. Green ≥ Mono by 1μs
3. Blue ≥ Green by 1μs or Green ≥ Blue by 1μs
4. Blue ≥ Mono by 1μs or Mono ≥ Blue by 1μs
5. Red ≥ Green by 1μs or Green ≥ Red by 1μs
6. Red ≥ Mono by 1μs or Mono ≥ Red by 1μs
Set Line Rate
To set the cam era‘s line rate use the line rate parameter, part of the Sensor Controls set. This feature can
only be used when the camera is in Internal mode—that is, when the start line trigger is disabled (Trigger
Mode Off).
Note: The line rate must be less than 1 / (Exposure time + 1500ns). Entering a value that violates this
cond ition will retu rn an error (―Invalid Parameter‖). You must ad ju st these two p aram eters in the correct
sequence to maintain this condition.
