X Full Binning/4 X Full Binning/8 X Full Binning - AVT Pike Technical Manual

Description of the data path
2 x full binning
Note The image appears horizontally compressed in this mode
and does no longer show true aspect ratio.
If horizontal binning is activated the image may appear to
be over-exposed and must eventually be corrected.

2 x full binning/4 x full binning/8 x full binning

If horizontal and vertical binning are combined, every 4 (16 or 64) pixels are
consolidated into a single pixel. At first two (4 or 8) vertical pixels are put
together and then combined horizontally.
This increases light sensitivity by a total of a factor of 4 (16 or 64) and at
the same time signal-to-noise separation is improved by about 6 (12 or 18)
dB. Resolution is reduced, depending on the model.
By default and without further remapping use Format_7 Mode_3 for
2 x full binning.
