Page 48: A/D Converter Parameter (Vtop And Vbottom)
While manual controls exist for changing Vtop and Vbottom, JAI PULNiX does not recommend that users change the Vtop and Vbottom settings established by the ADR algorithm. A great deal of knowledge is required to set these values correctly, and it is possible to set these parameters so that the A-to-D circuit will not function correctly. -

User’s Guide (Doc Number 4087-72-005). 6.6 Color Filter Array (Color Version) JAI PULNiX TS-9720EN cameras use the staggered “3G” color mosaic filter pattern (see Figure 16 below). The CFA contains 75% green photo sites and 25% red and blue photo sites. -
Page 50: Image Formats
JPEG is the industry-standard format for lossy image compression. Output file size, quality and speed of the encoding depends on the quality setting. The user can set the proper quality setting by accessing the “JPEG Quality Factor” config register (Address = 46). The factory default is 85. TS-9720EN Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras... -
