Basic functions The CCD scanning format can be selected between full or partial scanning. With partial scanning only the vertical central part of the CCD sensor is read out with a higher frame rate. The partial scan is done by a fast dump read out of the lines in the vertical ccd register down to the top of the partial image. The partial part of the im

A resulting full frame with lower spatial resolution can be + read out with a higher rate, and higher sensitivity. The CV-M4 has vertical binning where the pixel charge from 2 adjacent lines are added together in the horizontal ccd register. It is done by double pulses to the vertical ccd register. Lowest shutter speed is 1/50.

Here the color mosaic lay out is shown in fig. 13. left. This lay out is known as a Bayer filter. Based on the knowledge to this mosaic, a full RGB signal can be constructed by some calculations in the host Pc as shown in the following example. For the precise position of the R, G and B pixels

The RCT mode makes it possible to use a lens with video controlled iris for intelligent traffic surveillance applications, ITS. The camera is running continuously, and the iris is controlled from the iris video output. When a trigger pulse is applied, the scanning is reset, the previous signal is dumped with a fast dump read out, and the new triggered exposure is started. This fast dump read out takes 133 H (5,23 m
