Pixel Clock, Frame Rate, Exposure Time
Pixel clock
The basic parameter for camera timing is the pixel clock. It determines the speed at which the sensor cells can be read out.
|
Frame rate
The possible range of settings for the frame rate depends on the currently selected pixel clock. You can select a lower frame rate without changing the pixel clock. To set a higher frame rate, however, you need to increase the pixel clock.
Exposure time
The exposure time depends on the currently selected frame rate and is preset to its reciprocal value. You can select a shorter exposure time without changing the frame rate. To set a longer exposure time, however, you need to reduce the frame rate.
