Binning and sub-sampling access
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 number
of available Format_7 modes is limited and lower than the possible combina-
tions.
Thus access to the binning and sub-sampling modes is implemented in the fol-
lowing way:
• Format_7 Mode_0 is fixed and can not be changed
• A maximum of 7 individual AVT modes can be mapped to Format_7
Mode_1 to Mode_7
(see Figure 103: Mapping of possible Format_7 modes to F7M1...F7M7 on
page 183)
• Mappings can be stored via register (see Chapter Format_7 mode mapping
on page 362) 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

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...31 in the binning / 
sub-sampling list do not correspond to any of the
Format_7 modes.
