    SP-5000M-GE2 / SP-5000C-GE2 7.7. RCT mode Until the trigger is input, the camera operates continuously and the video signal for the auto-iris lens is output, provided the AUX connector has been ordered with a Type 2 configuration option. At this moment, the video signal, FVAL and LVAL are output but DVAL is not output. When the trigger is input, the fast dump is activated to read out the electronic charge very quickly, after which the accumulation and the readout are performed.

The SP-5000-GE2 has a 256-point Lookup Table, meaning the index points are treated like an 8-bit image with 0 representing a full black pixel and 255 representing a full white pixel. The index points are automatically scaled to fit the internal pixel format of the camera.

    SP-5000M-GE2 / SP-5000C-GE2 The RAW data contains only luminance information for each color and outputs as a monochrome signal. The Bayer color interpolation function can complement lacking color information on each pixel and output RGB or YUV color data as the result. Color interpolation compensates for the lack of color information by using information from adjacent pixels.
