Video formats, modes and bandwidth
The different Oscar models support different video formats, modes and frame
rates.
These formats and modes are standardized in the IIDC (formerly DCAM) spec-
ification.
Resolutions in Format_0, Format_1 and Format_2, which are smaller than the
generic sensor resolution, are generated symmetrically from the center of the
sensor and without binning.
Different color processing modes in Format_7 are accessed via
Color_Coding_ID register, as listed for Oscar F-510C.
Binning modes are only available in Format_7 for Oscar F-510C:
• Format_7 Mode_5: horizontal binning (H-binning)
• Format_7 Mode_6: vertical binning (V-binning)
• Format_7 Mode_7: horizontal and vertical binning (H+V binning)

• 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
400 Mbit/s. With lower bus speeds (e.g. 200 or 100
Mbit/s) not all frame rates may be achieved.
• For information on bit/pixel and byte/pixel for each
color mode see
Table 92: ByteDepth on page 215.
Note

H-binning means horizontal binning.
V-binning means vertical binning.
Full binning (H+V) means horizontal + vertical binning
2 x binning means: 2 neighboring pixels are combined.
• Binning increases signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), but
decreases resolution.
