Binning; Output Bit Length; Image Flip; Gain - Sony XCL-CG510 Technical Manual

Binning

By adding 2 vertical pixels or 2 horizontal pixels, the
frame rate is increased the sensitivity. The color camera
cannot set this. This can be set with or without a trigger.
Partial scan can be used concurrently and horizontal and
vertical can be set at the same time.

Output Bit Length

Toggling between 8 bit/10 bit/12 bit for monochrome
camera, and toggling between Raw output 8 bit/10 bit/
12 bit and RGB output 24 bit for color camera are
available.

Gain

Manual gain

Manual gain can be set finely in 0.1dB increments.
Although the settable lower/upper limit values of the
gain are slightly different in each camera, the GAIN
parameter value can be set from –1 dB or less to 27 dB
or more. Same as the gain, the parameter value of the
GAIN-FINE can be set from –10 or less to 270 or more.
The setting range of the gain that guarantees image
quality is from 0 dB to 18 dB.
Command Command parameter
GAIN –1 or less ~ 0 ~ 27 or more
GAIN-FINE –10 or less ~ 0 ~ 270 or
more

Auto gain (AGC)

By executing the GAIN-AUTO command, the gain is
automatically adjusted according to the image pickup
environment. AGC works so that the average level in a
detection frame may reach AGC-LEVEL. The AGC
detection frame is set to the central region by default.
The detection frame can be displayed or the detection
area changed.
