ATMOS -1M60/1M30 [Preliminary]

5. Camera Features

5.1 Region of Interest

The full resolution of the camera is 1312 pixels by 1024 lines.You might program a smaller reso-

lution in order to reduce the readout time. You must be careful that depending on the

sequencing mode, the exposure time can be reduced too.The authorized values for horizontal

size are 32 to 1312 pixels. This value is rounded to the

lower multiple of 16 pixels. The autho-

rized values for vertical size are 32 to 1024 lines. This value is rounded to the lower multiple of 8

lines. See registers ROI area @ 280H, 282H, 284H and 286H Internal Register Mapping on

page 17.

Examples of frame rate versus resolution:

5.2 Analog Gain

The analog gain can be adjusted by setting the gain register via the serial communication.

• Gain adjusted from 0 dB to 18 dB: code 0 to 6

• Step 3 dB

• Nominal gain (factory configuration): 0 dB

See register Sensor Analog Gain @ 240H, Internal Register Mapping on page 17.

5.3 Subsampling

– Subsampling 1: All pixels are readout (1312 × 1024)

– Subsampling 2: Two times lower resolution in both axes (656 × 512)

– Subsampling 4: Four times lower resolution in both axes (328 × 256)

See register Subsampling @ 288H, Internal Register Mapping on page 17.

Subsampling parameters might be combined with the ROI. The minimal window size resulting

from these combinations must be at least 32 × 32 pixels. This leads to the following table of min-

imal ROI size versus Subsampling:

5.4 Output Format

The data format available on the CameraLink output interface is programmable via the serial

interface.
