3.9 Adjusting Gain
Video gain is adjustable from 1.0 to 10.0 by writing a 16 bit value as an MS and LS byte
(only the 14 most significant bits of this value are actually used). The amplifier used for
gain control has a ranger of 40 dB, which equates to an adjustment increment of 0.00244
dB (40dB/2
14
). The camera gain value is calculated according to the following equation:
Value # 27306*log
10
(Gain)
Where 1.0
d Gain d 10.0
Example: Set Channel 1 to 2.5x Gain
Use these command/value pairs set the camera to 2.5x gain (you must write both MSB
and LSB values to all four ADC channels).
