High dynamic range ( Sync Mode 6)
In this mode, a roughly proportional approach is used which places an emphasis on the
image from the slower shutter speed sensor, while confining the highlights from the sensor
with the faster shutter to the highest (brightest) bits in the composite output.
The formula for the composition process is;
where,
1/m: shutter value of BW1
1/n: shutter value of BW2

Maximum dynamic range is:
When the high dynamic range mode is activated, the same composed output can be fed through
both GigE-1 and GigE-2. Set the appropriate output port to capture the image.

If the composition process is to be done on the host PC instead, set “Readout mode” to Sync
and use individual output from BW1 and BW2 to compose a high dynamic range image.
