  • Page 70: General Features

    When decimation is chosen, only every n-th pixel is used to create the output image. For example, with a 2x1 vertical skipping, every odd number line is used and every even number line is skipped, resulting in an image with half its original vertical resolution. Skipping is a faster downsampling mode, but also introduces more aliasing effects. XIMEA Technical Manual, Version: v240108...

  • Page 71: Image Data Output Formats

    When using Transport Data Format, the Image Processing block from XiAPI Image Data Flow is skipped and therefore the Transport format is the most effective data format in terms of CPU and RAM usage. Table 31: image formats - MX1510CR-SY-X4G3-FF XIMEA Technical Manual, Version: v240108...

  • Page 72: Acquisition Modes

    Unlike in the free-run, each image exposure can also be triggered with an input trigger signal. In this mode, the sensor waits in stage until the trigger signal arrives. Only then, the exposure of first frame is started, which is followed by the data readout. XIMEA cameras supports several triggered modes along with single image exposure after one trigger.
