Digital clamp

You can adjust between +255 and 0 steps for 12-bit
output images.
With the value of 1023 (default value) at 0 step, you can
adjust to +255 step by entering 0.
5.3.

Digital gain

Configure this setting with DGAIN. Set the variable
between x0 (black) to x15 and set the factor between 0
and 15, and Yout = Yin x factor.
Multiply by one when the factor is equal to 1.
Use this, for example, when the image is dark with
regards to AFE gain only.
5.4.

Digital pedestal

You can adjust between -255 and +255 steps for 12-bit
output images.
With the value of 1023 (default value) at 0 step, you can
adjust to -255 step by entering 0, and to +255 step by
entering 2047.
This setting raises the whole level.

Note
The digital gain changes the whole level. Therefore, if it
is used when the previous step of the digital clamp has
been changed from the default value (1023), the change
in the black level will be (digital gain factor) × (digital
clamp additional value).
If the digital clamp setting has been changed, use the
digital pedestal to adjust the black level.
