This would increase light sensitivity by a factor of 4 in case of 2 x 2 ( Horizontal x Vertical ) binning. However as described above, only vertical binning would result in a speed gain while horizontal binning gives no speed gain. - Page 61 NILE SERIES Operation Manual Page 53 /Tilt which is carried out by physically moving the camera up and down, this functions by using a smaller video mode than the CCD’s effective pixels and moving the image up and down. This results in a reduced resolution, which the user can specify by the Pan/Tilt command.

Page 72: Sio(Rs232) Imi Tech Commands
IMI Tech Commands are valid when the Bit30 is to be set “0”(zero). SIO(RS232) IMI Tech commands are non IIDC compliant which is a specific mode for IMI cameras. Before using these commands serial communication parameters must be set at Serial_Mode_Reg(F2F22000h) F2F10018 means that the RS232 command is valid. - Page 73 NILE SERIES Operation Manual Page 65 SIO(RS232) Commands Data Return Command Function Length Value Gain control (0x000 ~ 0x30F(BW Model) or 2D3(Color Model)) 3Bytes (see gain mapping graph) Ex) SA0200Z : Gain index value 512 (18dB) Shutter speed control 3Bytes (0x001 ~ 0xCFB) (see shutter speed table) Set/Clear auto shutter speed and auto gain Bit 0 : Auto gain...
