Switching an Output Bit Length Overview You can select 8-bit output, 10-bit output, 12-bit output, or 16-bit output. This unit is a digital video camera module that outputs digital images utilizing LVDS via the DIGITAL IF Binning (Monochrome camera only) connector. -
Page 4: Phenomena Specific To Image Sensors
Phenomena Specific to Image Sensors Note The following phenomena that may occur in images are specific to image sensors. They do not indicate a malfunction. White flecks Although the image sensors are produced with high- precision technologies, fine white flecks may be generated on the screen in rare cases, caused by cosmic rays, etc. -

Page 23: Trigger Control
Trigger Control Free run/trigger mode Free run The camera operates without a trigger signal and performs the video output operation continuously after the shutter (exposure) is finished. The horizontal and vertical timing signals are generated within the camera. During the free-run operation, image pickup timing cannot be controlled. -
Page 24: Special Trigger
Special trigger When operating in trigger mode and performing image pickup in different conditions (such as the shutter, gain, and image pickup area), the setting has to be changed in advance for each trigger input. However, if the special trigger operation is enabled, the setting does not have to be changed and continuous image pick up in different conditions is facilitated. -
