6.2.1 Rolling Shutter – Timing Details
In rolling shutter mode the pixel reset and exposure start is carried out row
by row. Each row has the same exposure time, but a different start of
exposure. The pco.edge image sensor consists of two discrete halves,
which are exposed and read out simultaneously, i.e. from the outside to the
center. Within one row, the exposure starts simultaneously for all pixels.

starts with the corresponding
reset of the row. Then after a
predefined time, exposure is
stopped. The light induced
accumulated charge carriers of
the pixels in a row are recorded
into memory in a low noise
fashion (readout). This results in
the total image appearing in
memory corresponding to the
