Basic functions The CCD scanning format can be selected between full or partial scanning. With partial scanning only the vertical central part of the CCD sen sor is read out with a higher frame rate. The parti[...]

CV-M4 + /M4 + CL, CV-M7 + /M7 + CL - 9 - Binning mode is a func tion where the signal charge from 2 or more adjacent pixels are ad ded together and read out as one pixel. A resulting f ull frame with lower spatial resolution can be read out with a higher rate, and higher sensitivity. The CV-M4 + has vertical binning where the pixel charge from 2 ad[...]

CV-M4 + /M4 + CL, CV-M7 + /M7 + CL - 10 - Color versions CV-M7 + and CV-M7 + CL These color cameras are identical to the monochrome cameras. Only the CCD sensor is changed to a RGB primary color type. Here t he color mosaic lay out is shown in fig. 13. left. This lay out is known as a Bayer f ilter. Based on the knowle dge to this mosaic, a full RG[...]

CV-M4 + /M4 + CL, CV-M7 + /M7 + CL - 11 - Restart Continuous Trigger mode. RCT . The RCT mode makes it possible to use a lens wi th video controlled iris for intelligent traffic surveillance applications, ITS. The camera is running continuously, and the iris is controlled from the iris video output. When a trigge r pulse is applied , the scanning i[...]
