Width [Integer] R/W
Width of image, in pixels.
WidthMax [Integer] R
Maximum image width for the current image mode. Horizontal binning, for
example, will change this value.
ImageMode
BinningHorizontal [Integer] R/W
The horizontal binning factor. Binning is the summing of charge (for CCD sen-
sors) or gray value (for CMOS sensors) of adjacent pixels on a sensor, giving a
lower resolution image, but at full region of interest. Image sensitivity is also
improved due to summed pixel charge / gray value.
RGBA8Packed Bit depth: 8. One pixel every four bytes. On-camera interpolated color. Alpha
channel (A) is fully opaque, 0xFF
BGRA8Packed Bit depth: 8. One pixel every four bytes. On-camera interpolated color. Alpha
channel (A) is fully opaque, 0xFF
RGB12Packed Bit depth: 12. One pixel every six bytes—R, G, B channels LSB-aligned. On-cam-
era interpolated color.
YUV411Packed Bit depth: 8. 4 pixel every 6 byte. On-camera interpolated color. Data in YUV411
format.
YUV422Packed Bit depth: 8. 3 pixel every 6 byte. On-camera interpolated color. Data in YUV422
format.
YUV444Packed Bit depth: 8. 2 pixel every 6 byte. On-camera interpolated color. Data in YUV444
format.
Range: [Camera dependent] Unit: Pixels
Range: [1 – Camera dependent] Default: 1
Note

• BinningHorizontal and DecimationHori-
zontal are mutually exclusive. Setting BinningHo-
rizontal > 1 forces DecimationHorizontal to
1.
• Color cameras only: Color information is lost while bin-
ning is active due to summing of adjacent different fil-
tered pixels on the Bayer filter array.
