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 num-
ber of available Format_7 modes is limited and lower than the possible com-
binations.
Thus access to the binning and sub-sampling modes is implemented in the
following way:
• Format_7 Mode_0 is fixed and cannot be changed
• A maximum of 7 individual AVT modes can be mapped to Format_7
Mode_1 to Mode_7

(see Figure 87: Mapping of possible Format_7 modes to F7M1...F7M7 on
page 160)
• Mappings can be stored via register (see Chapter Format_7 mode map-
ping on page 327) 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...27 in the binning /

sub-sampling list on page 160 do not correspond to any
of the Format_7 modes.
