3.9 Adjusting Gain

Video gain is adjustable from 1.0 to 10.0 by writing a 16 bit value as an MS and LS byte (only the
14 most significant bits of this value are actually used). The amplifier used for gain control has a
ranger of 40 dB, which equates to an adjustment increment of 0.00244 dB (40dB/2
gain value is calculated according to the following equation:
Value ≅ 27306*log
Where 1.0 ≤ Gain ≤ 10.0
