Binning and sub-sampling access
(only Guppy F-503)
The binning and sub-sampling modes described in the last two chapters are
only available as pure binning or pure sub-sampling modes. A combination
of both is not possible.
As you can see there is a vast amount of possible combinations. But the num-
ber of available Format_7 modes is limited and lower than the possible com-
binations.
Thus access to the binning and sub-sampling modes is implemented in the
following way:
• Format_7 Mode_0 is fixed and cannot be changed
• A maximum of 7 individual AVT modes can be mapped to Format_7
Mode_1 to Mode_7
(see Figure 90: Mapping of possible Format_7 modes to F7M1...F7M7 on
page 152)
• Mappings can be stored via register (see Chapter Format_7 mode map-
ping (only Guppy F-503) on page 280) and are uploaded automatically
into the camera on camera reset.
•The default settings (per factory) in the Format_7 modes are listed in
the following table:
Format_7 Guppy F-503B cameras Format_7 Guppy F-503C cameras Format_7
Mode_0 full resolution, no binning,
no sub-sampling

Mode_1 2 x horizontal binning 2 x horizontal binning
Mode_2 2 x vertical binning 2 x vertical binning
Mode_3 2 x full binning 2 x full binning
Mode_4 2 out of 4 horizontal sub-sampling 2 out of 4 horizontal sub-sampling
Mode_5 2 out of 4 vertical sub-sampling 2 out of 4 vertical sub-sampling
Mode_6 2 out of 4 full sub-sampling 2 out of 4 full sub-sampling

Note

•A combination of binning and sub-sampling modes is
not possible.
Use either pure binning or pure sub-sampling modes.
• The Format_ID numbers 0...26 in the binning /
sub-sampling list on page 152 do not correspond to any
of the Format_7 modes.
