    8.3 Basic functions The BM-500GE and BB-500GE cameras are progressive scan cameras with 12, 10 or 8-bit video output in Gigabit Ethernet. The camera has 1/2, 1/4 or 1/8 partial scanning for faster frame rates.

  • Page 32: Bb-500Ge. Bayer Mosaic Filter

    The partial scanning function uses the middle of the image vertically to achieve faster frame rate. This is effective for capturing and inspecting the image which does not require the height. BM-500GE/BB-500GE has 4 types of partial scan modes such as 2/3, 1/2, 1/4 an 1/8. Mode...

    BM-500GE / BB-500GE Exposure Time Abs (GenICam Standard) This is a function specified in the GenICam standard. The shutter speed can be entered as an absolute exposure time in microseconds (μs) in register address 0xA018. The entered absolute time (Time Abs) is then converted to programmable exposure (PE) value inside the camera.

Whether accumulation is synchronous or a-synchronous in relationship to LVAL depends on the timing of the trigger input. When trigger is received while FVAL is high (during readout), the camera works in LVAL- synchronous mode, preventing reset feed trough in the video signal.
