Fig. 96: Combining Vertical and Horizontal Color Binning
You can combine vertical and horizontal binning. This, however, may cause objects to appear
distorted in the image. For more information about possible image distortion due to combined
vertical and horizontal binning, see Section 7.8.4 on

Setting Binning

You can enable vertical binning by setting the Binning Vertical parameter. Setting the parameter's
value to 2, 3, or 4 enables vertical binning by 2, by 3, or by 4, respectively. Setting the parameter's
value to 1 disables vertical binning.
You can enable horizontal binning by setting the Binning Horizontal parameter. Setting the
parameter's value to 2, 3, or 4 enables horizontal binning by 2, by 3, or by 4, respectively. Setting
the parameter's value to 1 disables horizontal binning.
You can set the Binning Vertical or the Binning Horizontal parameter value from within your
application software by using the Basler pylon API. The following code snippet illustrates using the
API to set the parameter values:
// Enable vertical binning by 2
camera.BinningVertical.SetValue( 2 );
// Enable horizontal binning by 4
camera.BinningHorizontal.SetValue( 4 );
// Disable vertical and horizontal binning
camera.BinningVertical.SetValue( 1 );
camera.BinningHorizontal.SetValue( 1 );
If your camera provides binning modes also set the binning mode to summing or averaging for
horizontal and vertical binning:
