  • Page 28: Pixel Sensitivity Correction

    SW-4000M-PMCL Pixel Sensitivity Correction Correct variations between the sensorʼs pixels. Calibration must be performed within the camera and correction data must be created beforehand. DSNU (PixelBlackCorrect) / PRNU (PixelGainCorrect) can be reduced using that correction data. We recommend performing calibration and creating correction data whenever the line rate setting or Analog base gain setting or vertical binning setting are changed significantly.
  • Page 29: Gain Control

    SW-4000M-PMCL Gain Control The following gain functions are available on the camera. • Analog base gain • Digital gain ■ Analog base gain Analog base gain (ABG) is gain that is performed to the analog video signal output from the sensor.
