IDS Software Suite 4.96.1

Sensor

•Using the sensor's internal image scaler does not increase the maximum possible frame rate. With active image scaler you can set a higher pixel clock for USB 2.0 camera and so a higher frame rate can be achieved.

•When using the sensor's internal image scaler, hot pixel correction is not supported.

•At very long exposure times (> 100 ms) and minimum gain, the white level may not be reached. The gain should be increased by one step in this case.

•The gain controls have no effect for values >90.

•The scaler remains active (but set to 1) if you have set an image size with the scaler.

Camera parameter

•Transfer errors may occur when changing the parameters exposure, gain, pixel format, frame rate or black level.

Color version

•When using 2x binning, you can improve image quality by enabling the sensor's internal anti-aliasing. To enable anti-aliasing, activate the sensor's internal image scaler. You may set the scaling factor to 1.0 if the scaling effect is undesired.

•When using 4x binning, the sensor internally combines 2x binning and 2x subsampling. Consequently, the images do not become brighter compared to pure 2x binning.

Monochrome version

•The sensor has a reduced sensitivity in the NIR range. It is suitable for IR imaging only to a limited extent.

•From a functional perspective the sensor is a color sensor without Bayer pattern. Therefore color binning, color subsampling and scaling is performed. This might lead to artifacts when using this functions. So the monochrome version is limited to 2x binning.

Lens

•We recommend to use a high-resolution megapixel lens.

•The sensor is sensitive to diffuse light. Light striking the pixels from the side must be avoided. We recommend using lenses with a greater distance to the sensor surface and avoiding small apertures (f/16 and higher). Otherwise artifacts can occur, especially on the monochrome version. You should not asses the sensor's homogeneity without a lens.
