7.8 Binning
For information about the availability of binning on a specific camera model, see Table 41 on
page 191 and Table 42 on page 192.
The binning feature is usually only available on monochrome cameras.
For information about color binning, see Section 7.8.2 on page 248.
7.8.1 Binning on Monochrome Cameras
Normal Implementation
Binning increases the camera’s response to light by summing the charges from adjacent pixels into
one pixel. Two types of binning are available: vertical binning and horizontal binning.
With vertical binning, adjacent pixels from 2 rows, 3 rows, or a maximum of 4 rows in the imaging
sensor array are summed and are reported out of the camera as a single pixel. Figure 92 illustrates
vertical binning.
When vertical binning is used, vertical decimation is not available. When
horizontal binning is used, horizontal decimation is not available.
However: When vertical binning is used, horizontal decimation is available.
When horizontal binning is used, vertical decimation is available.
For more information about decimation, see Section 7.9.1 on page 253.
When binning is used, scaling is not available.
For more information about scaling, see Section 7.10 on page 258.
