12.8 Set Binning

Note

● Binning Horizontal is the image’s width, and Binning Vertical is the image’s height.

● The binning related functions may differ by device models.

The purpose of setting binning is to enhance sensibility. With binning, multiple sensor

pixels are combined as a single pixel to reduce resolution and improve image brightness.

Click Binning Selector, and set Binning Horizontal and Binning Vertical according to

actual demands.

The device also supports binning mode function if the binning is 2 × 2 and above. The

binning mode defines how pixels are combined if the binning is 2 × 2 and above. Click

Binning Mode, and select Sum or Average according to actual demands.

● Sum: The values of the affected pixels are summed. This improves the signal-to-noise

ratio, but also increases the device’s response to light.

● Average: The values of the affected pixels are averaged. This greatly improves the

signal-to-noise ratio without affecting the device’s response to light.

Both binning modes (Sum and Average) reduce the amount of image data to be

transferred.

Configuring binning mode is supported when the device is acquiring images.
