Output format

Monochrome cameras can switch between 8 bits, 10
bits, and 12 bits. Color cameras can switch between Raw
output 8 bits, 10 bits, 12 bits, RGB output 24 bits, and
YUV output 24 bits, 16 bits.

Gain

Analog gain

The analog gain can be finely set in 0.0359 dB units or
bit levels.
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
GainAnalogRaw can be set from –27 or less to 752 or
more. The setting rage of the gain that guarantees image
quality is from 0 dB to 18 dB.
Register Parameter
Gain –1 or less ~ 0 ~ 27 or
more
GainAnalogRaw –27 or less ~ 0 ~ 752 or
more

Auto gain (AGC)

By setting AUTOGAIN, 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.
