Video formats, modes and bandwidth

The different Marlin models support different video formats, modes and frame

rates.

These formats and modes are standardized in the IIDC (formerly DCAM) specifi-

cation.

Resolutions smaller than the generic sensor resolution are generated from the

center of the sensor and without binning.

Note



• The maximum frame rates can only be achieved with

shutter settings lower than 1/framerate. This means that

with default shutter time of 40 ms, a camera will not

achieve frame rates higher than 25 frames/s. In order to

achieve higher frame rates, please reduce the shutter

time proportionally.

• The following tables assume that bus speed is

400 Mbit/s. With lower bus speeds (e.g. 200 or 100

Mbit/s) not all frame rates may be achieved.

Note



H-binning means horizontal binning.

V-binning means vertical binning.

Full binning (H+V) means horizontal + vertical binning

Binning increases signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), but decreases

resolution.
