This bit is reserved for future use and should not be set. To ensure compatibility with future
releases, we recommend using a read/modify/write operation to preserve the status of this bit.
[13] Reserved:
Writing a ‘1’ to this location will enable dark current correction. Writing a ‘0’ will disable dark
current correction.
[12] DARK_OFFSET_EN:
[11] SHARP_STRENGTH:
Writing a ‘1’ to this bit will cause the sharpening filter to be at the stronger setting. Writing a
‘0’ to this bit will cause the sharpening filter to be at a weaker setting.
Writing a ‘1’ to this bit will enable the 3X3 FIR, sharpening filter. This filter has two default
strengths.
[10] SHARP_EN:
[9] Reserved:
This bit is reserved for future use and should not be set. To ensure compatibility with future
releases, we recommend using a read/modify/write operation to preserve the status of this bit.
[8] FPN_OFFSET_EN:
Writing a ‘1’ to this location will enable the automatic correction of column fixed pattern offset
errors in the hardware. FPN coefficients are calculated by placing known voltages on the
columns when imager data is not being read. Writing a ‘0’ to this location will disable FPN
offset correction. Note that on power up or after a system reset, this may require as much as
two minutes to reach full performance. This is a result of filtering on the correction values to
remove the affects of non-fixed pattern noise.
[7] FULL_FRAME_FPN:
Writing a ‘1’ to this location will cause FPN data to be collected over the entire frame. This is
a test feature and it will cause the video to be overwritten. Writing a ‘0’ to this bit will enable
normal operation.
Writing a ‘0’ to this bit will disable all gain stages in the processing pipeline including merge
bins. This mode is intended to be used to measure the SNR of the imager. Writing a ‘1’ to this
bit will enable normal operation of the processing pipeline.
[6] AGC_MODE:
[5] MB_EN:
Writing a ’1’ to this bit will enable Merge Bins contrast enhancement block in the processing
pipeline. This block applies an adjustable non-linear function to ensure the video is mapped
efficiently to 8 bits
[4] MB_ROI_EN
:
Writing a ’1’ to this bit will enable the ROI feature for the merge bins algorithm. Enabling this
feature causes the algorithm to generate a non-linear transform that optimizes the portion of
the image in the region of interest. The same transform is applied to the entire image, but the
transform is calculated to optimize the region of interest.
Writing a ‘1’ to this location will enable the starkiller, non-linear filter. This filter detects and
corrects for single pixel defects in the imager.
[3] SK_EN:
This bit is reserved for future use and should not be set. To ensure compatibility with future
releases, we recommend using a read/modify/write operation to preserve the status of this bit.
[2] Reserved:
[1] NTSC_TEST_ENABLE: Writing a ‘1’ to this bit will cause the camera to generate a test pattern on the NTSC output.
Writing a ‘0’ will enable normal operation.
[0]NTSC_EN:
Writing a ‘0’ to this bit will turn off the NTSC output of the camera. Writing a ‘1’ to this bit will
enable the NTSC output.
