Video formats, modes and bandwidth
The different PIKE models support different video formats, modes and frame
rates.
These formats and modes are standardized in the IIDC (formerly DCAM) spec-
ification.
Resolutions smaller than the generic sensor resolution are generated from
the center of the sensor and without binning.
PIKE F-032B / PIKE F-032C
*: Color camera outputs RAW image, which needs to be converted outside of
camera.

• 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
800 Mbit/s. With lower bus speeds (e.g. 400, 200 or
100 Mbit/s) not all frame rates may be achieved.
