    Performance Image transfer with rolling shutter cameras Alvium 1500 C-210m/c, C-500m/c, 1800 C-1240m/c, and 1800 C-2050m/c If acquisition is started and stopped in a short sequence, no image is transferred to the host. The duration cannot be predicted, because it depends on various factors. Frame rate jitter Alvium 1500 C-120m/c, C-210m/c, C-500m/c, 1800 C-1240m/c, 1800 C-2050m/c Generally, some parameters can be changed during exposure without affecting the...

  • Page 235: Value Changes By Control Interdependencies

    Performance Value changes by control interdependencies The conversion between time and clock cycles affects control values. Controls for pixel format, bandwidth, ROI, and exposure time are related to each other. Changing values for one control can change values for another control. For example, frame rates can be reduced when MIPI Data Format is changed...

  • Page 236: Effects For The Interdependent Controls

    Performance Effects for the interdependent controls Changing one control's value affects other control's values, such as: value is changed. Height Then: Other values may be affected, such as for ExposureTime We recommend you to consider: • The more controls you adjust, the more current values deviate from previously set values.

  • Page 237: Dark Current Compensation

    Performance Dark current compensation All sensors accumulate dark current in the pixels. Dark current increases the signal level and black level. Most sensors in Alvium CSI-2 cameras compensate for this. For Alvium 1500 C-050m/c with the ON Semi PYTHON 480 sensor, see Black level compensation for 1500 C-050m/c on page 238.

  • Page 238: Additional Compensation

    Performance Additional compensation If compensation limits are reached and you cannot decrease operating temperature or exposure time, what can you do to keep signal quality high? Measures for type 1 compensation Alvium 1500 C-050m/c supports compensation type 1. For additional compensation, see Black level compensation for 1500 C-050m/c on page 238.

    Performance Shutter types affecting image readout Some Alvium CSI-2 camera models are operated using global shutter (GS). Property Line readout Moving image Global shutter (GS) Time Other models use rolling shutter (RS). Alvium 1800 C-2050 models with Sony IMX183 sensor offer global reset shutter (GRS) in addition: Property Rolling shutter (RS) Global reset...
