Partial Scan; Binning Mode - Sony XCG-V60E Technical Manual

Partial Scan

The partial scan function outputs a user-defined region (Area Of Interest) within the overall image area. The cut-out
region for partial scan is defined by Offset X and Offset Y (which indicate the start point for cutting), and Width and
Height (which indicate the area). Contiguous blocks of minimum areas can be selected to define regions. However, the
defined region must be a square or right rectangle. T- and L-shaped regions are invalid.

Minimum area sizes for partial scan are as follows:
XCG-V60E 64 pixels × 48 lines
XCG-SX97E 64 pixels × 100 lines
XCG-U100E 64 pixels × 120 lines
XCG-5005E 64 pixels × 480 lines
Cut-out position settings are specified with the following units:
Horizontal: 8-pixel units
Vertical: 4-scan line units
Note
Be aware that the frame rate increases for vertical cut-outs, while the frame rate remains unchanged for horizontal
cut-outs.

Binning Mode

This mode increases sensitivity and frame rate by combining vertically adjacent pixel data from the CCD.
Note
Binning mode approximately doubles sensitivity by combining vertical signals on alternate pairs of adjacent lines.
However, because the frame rate is also doubled, available exposure time is consequently halved. Setting a shorter
exposure time enhances the effect, and sensitivity is further increased. Consider the effect on exposure time when using
the Binning mode.
