3.8 Offset and Gain Adjustments
Setting Analog Offset
Purpose: Sets the analog offset.
Syntax:
sao t i
Syntax Elements:
t
Tap selection. Allowable value is 0 for all taps.
i
Analog offset value. Extreme range is 0 - 511 but dynamic
range is dependent of the camera’s current exposure mode
and gain settings. A value of 100 does not equal an offset of
100DN.
Notes:
• When flat field correction is enabled the expectation is that in
the dark the signal level is 0DN. Some users might required a
non-zero dark output. This can be achieved by increasing
analog offset.
• Take care not to increase SAO too much with FFC enabled,
otherwise a PRNU-induced FPN pattern will result. Keep the
dark offset below 5 DN (10 bit).
• The offset increases linearly with higher values.
• Entering a large value offset will cause the camera to digitally
saturate the output image.
• The resulting analog offset value depends on other camera
parameters such as temperature, frame rate, and exposure
mode.
• The upper input limit of the offset remains the same regardless
of the exposure mode
Example:
sao 0 20
Factory Calibrated Analog Gains
The camera has a factory calibrated analog gain setting. Adjustment of analog gain is not
available to the user, however, digital gain is available as set system gain
ssg.
