Maximum image width

The max. image width is limited by the FIFO inside the Binning processor. It depends on the pixel format:

Image Height

Height increment step

The image height must be a multiple of 2 when using Binning Window 2x2 and a multiple of 4 when using Binning Window 4x4.

Additional limitations

When the Pixel Binning is enabled, the Pixel Unpacking and Alignment control is inoperative, the frame grabber unpacks 10-bit, 12-bit or 14-bit pixels to lsb.
