230 Basler scout GigE
12.2 Black Level
Adjusting the camera’s black level will result in an offset to the pixel values output by the camera.
Increasing the black level setting will result in a positive offset in the digital values output for the
pixels. Decreasing the black level setting will result in a negative offset in the digital values output
for the pixels.
Effect on All Camera Models Except the scA640-120, scA750-60, scA1300-32, scA1400-30,
and scA1600-28
If the camera is set for a pixel data format that yields 8 bit effective pixel depth (Mono 8, Bayer BG
8, Bayer RG 8, RGB 8 Packed, YUV 4:2:2 Packed, YUV 4:2:2 (YUYV) Packed), an increase of 16
in the black level parameter setting will result in a positive offset of 1 in the digital values output for
the pixels. And a decrease of 16 in the setting will result in a negative offset of 1 in the digital values
output for the pixels.
If the camera is set for a pixel data format that yields an effective pixel depth of 12 bits per pixel
(Mono 16, Mono 12 Packed, Bayer BG 16, Bayer RG 16, Bayer BG 12 Packed), an increase of 1
in the black level parameter setting will result in a positive offset of 1 in the digital values output for
the pixels. A decrease of 1 in the setting will result in a negative offset of 1 in the digital values output
for the pixels.
Effect on scA750-60 Models
An increase of 4 in the black level parameter setting will result in a positive offset of 1 in the digital
values output for the pixels. And a decrease of 4 in the setting will result in a negative offset of 1 in
the digital values output for the pixels.
Effect on scA640-120, scA1300-32, scA1400-30, and scA1600-28 Models
If the camera is set for a pixel data format that yields 8 bit effective pixel depth (Mono 8, Bayer BG
8, Bayer RG 8, RGB 8 Packed, YUV 4:2:2 Packed, YUV 4:2:2 (YUYV) Packed), an increase of 64
in the black level parameter setting will result in a positive offset of 1 in the digital values output for
the pixels. And a decrease of 64 in the setting will result in a negative offset of 1 in the digital values
output for the pixels.
If the camera is set for a pixel data format that yields an effective pixel depth of 12 bits per pixel
(Mono 16, Mono 12 Packed, Bayer BG 16, Bayer RG 16, Bayer BG 12 Packed), an increase of 4
in the black level parameter setting will result in a positive offset of 1 in the digital values output for
the pixels. A decrease of 4 in the setting will result in a negative offset of 1 in the digital values output
for the pixels.
