AFE channel compensation (channel balance)

All KODAK Pike sensors are read out via two channels: the first channel for the

left half of the image and the second channel for the right half of the image.

Channel gain adjustment (Pike color cameras: only RAW8 and RAW16) for both

channels can be done via the following two advanced registers:

You can save the current value in the user sets and set to default value.

Dual-tap offset adjustment

(only for the following Pike cameras having KODAK/SONY sensors with two

channels: Pike F-032/Pike F-210/Pike F-421/Pike F-505/Pike F-1100/

Pike F-1600)

For fine tuning of both channels a so-called dual-tap offset adjustment is pos-

sible: in addition to channel gain adjustment also an offset adjustment can be

done. This will lead to a (nearly) perfect channel compensation for all grey val-

ues.

Offset adjustment (Pike color cameras: only RAW8 and RAW16) for both chan-

nels can be done via the following two advanced registers.
