Data Reduction Functions - Hamamatsu Photonics ORCA-Fire C16240-20UP Instruction Manual

11-4 DATA REDUCTION FUNCTIONS

The camera provides 10.5 megapixels resolution at 115 fps and 16 bit of gradation.
Then the camera outputs 2.4 GB of data per second, and large capacity of storage device would be
necessary to store such a large amount of data.
The amount of data can be reduced by 8 bit digital output. The amount of data can be the half of original
16 bit data and each pixel have 256 steps of gradation. When you use USB interface, the frame rate can
be faster with 8 bit digital output.
The steps of gradation for each pixel would be reduced with 8 bit digital output. However, the look up
table function can minimize the lack of gradation by choosing required range of intensity level. User can
specify the range of intensity level for the look up table by 16 bit value.
• Refer to 10-1-4 Normal Area Mode "FRAME RATE CALCULATION" or 10-2-3 Lightsheet Readout
Mode "FRAME RATE CALCULATION" about the frame rate when you use USB interface.
