Camera Advanced Parameters

Gain and Offset are the operations that are applied to the incoming video signal.

Gain is a multiplier. Gain varies between 0 and 1, where 0 is no gain, and 1 is full gain.

 

Offset is an addition or subtraction. Offset is between -255 and 255.

 

A high gain may be used to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio, and then a negative offset applied to re-center the signal at an intermediate gray level of 128.

 

Note: The SXGA sensor has only 5 levels of gain: 0, .25, .5, .75, and 1.

 

Important: If you are using a color camera, the Advanced Parameters dialogs will display a Color Channel dropdown menu at the top of the dialog as shown in the example below. Luminance is the default Color Channel value.
