Channel Balance; Channel Adjustment With Smartview (>1.5) - AVT Pike Technical Manual

Description of the data path

Channel balance

All KODAK PIKE sensors are read out via two channels: the first channel for
the left half of the image and the second channel for the right half of the
image (divided by a central vertical line).
All KODAK equipped cameras come with a sensor-specific pre-adjusted chan-
nel balance.
However in some cases it may be advantageous to carry out a fine adjustment
with the so-called channel balance.
To carry out an adjustment in an advanced register: see
