Baumer VCXG - Color Binning and Pixel Formats

9.1.8.2 Color Binning
Color Binning is calculating on the camera (no higher frame rates) – The sensor does not
support this binning operation.
Color calculated pixel formats
In pixel formats, which are not raw formats (e.g. RGB8), the three calculated color values
(R, G, B) of a pixel will be added with those of the corresponding neighbor pixel during
binning.

Vertical binning causes
a vertically compressed
image with doubled
brightness.
◄Figure23
Horizontal binning
causes a horizontally
compressed image with
doubled brightness.
◄Figure24
Bidirectional binning
causes both a hori-
zontally and vertically
compressed image with
quadruple brightness.
