Description of the data path OSCAR Technical Manual V2.4 .0 84 Binning (only Oscar F-510C) 2xB i n n i n g Definition Binning is the process of combining neighboring p ixels while being read out from the CC D chip.
Description of the data path OSCAR Technical Manual V2.4 .0 85 Vertical binning Vertical binning increases the light sensitivity of the camera by a factor of two by adding together the values of two adjoining vertical pixels output as a single pixel. At the same time this normally improv es signal-to-noise s ep- aration by about 3 dB.
Description of the data path OSCAR Technical Manual V2.4 .0 86 Horizontal binning Definition In horizontal binning adjacent horizontal pixels in a line are combined in pairs. This means that in horizontal binning the light sensitivity of the camera is also increased by a factor of two (6 dB ).
Description of the data path OSCAR Technical Manual V2.4 .0 87 2 x full binning If horizontal and vertical binning ar e combined, every 4 pixels are consoli- dated into a single pixel. At firs t two horizontal pixels are put together and then combined vertically.
Description of the data path OSCAR Technical Manual V2.4 .0 88 Sub-sampling What is sub-sampling? Definition Sub-sampling is the process of skip pi ng neighboring pixels (with the same color) while being read out from the CCD chip. Which Oscar models have sub-sampling? All Oscar models have this feature.
Description of the data path OSCAR Technical Manual V2.4 .0 89 High SNR mode (High Signal Noise Ratio) To configure this feature in a n advanced register: See Table 101: Advanced register: High Signal Noise Ratio (HSNR) on page 197. In this mode t he camera grabs a nd aver ages a set number of images and out- puts one image with the same bit depth.
Description of the data path OSCAR Technical Manual V2.4 .0 90 Sharpness All Oscar models are equipped with a tw o-step sharpness control, applying a discreet horizontal high pass in the gr een channel as shown in the next three line profiles.
Description of the data path OSCAR Technical Manual V2.4 .0 91 RAW mode is accessible via Color_Mode Mono8, RAW8 and via Format_7. Color interpolation (BAYER demosaicing) In color interpolation, a red , green or blue value is determined fo r each pixel.
Description of the data path OSCAR Technical Manual V2.4 .0 92 Color corr ection Why color correction? The spectral response of a CCD is different of those of an output device or the human eye. This is the reason for th e fact that perfect color reproduction is not possible.
Description of the data path OSCAR Technical Manual V2.4 .0 93 Color correction can also be switched off in YUV mode with the help of the following register: Color conversion (RGB YUV) The conversion from RGB to YUV is made using the foll owing formulae: Hue and Saturation Oscar models are equipped with hue and saturation registers.
Description of the data path OSCAR Technical Manual V2.4 .0 94 This means a setting of zero changes the image to black and white and a set- ting of 511 doubles the color intensit y compared to the nominal one at 256.
Description of the data path OSCAR Technical Manual V2.4 .0 95 Serial interface All Oscar cameras are equipped with th e SIO (serial input/output) feature as described in IIDC V1.31. This means that the Oscar's serial interface which is used for firmware upgrades can also be used as a general RS232 interface.

Controlling image capture OSCAR Technical Manual V2.4 .0 111 Exposur e time (shutter) and of fset The exposure (shutter) time for continuous mode and Trigger_Mode_0 is based on the following formula: Shutter register value x time base + offset The register value is the value set in the corresponding IIDC register (SHUTTER [81Ch]).
Controlling image capture OSCAR Technical Manual V2.4 .0 112 Extended shutter The exposure time for long-term integr ation of up to 67 seconds can be extended via the advanced register: EXTENDED_SHUTTER The longest exposure time, 3FFFFFFh , corresponds to 67.
Controlling image capture OSCAR Technical Manual V2.4 .0 113 One-shot Oscar cameras can record an image by setting the one-shot bit in the 61Ch register. This bit is auto matically clea red after the image is captured. If the camera is placed in ISO_Enable mode (see Chapter ISO_E nable / free-run on page 115), this flag is ignored.
Controlling image capture OSCAR Technical Manual V2.4 .0 114 Microcontroller sync is an internal signal. It is generated by the microcon- troller to initiate a trigger. This can ei ther be a direct trigger or a release for ExSync, if the camera is externally triggered.
Controlling image capture OSCAR Technical Manual V2.4 .0 115 Multi-shot Setting multi-shot and entering a quantity of images in Count_Number in the 61Ch register enables the camera to record a specified number of i mages. The number is indicated in bits 16 to 31.
