VOUT
Note) Blacked out portions in the diagram indicate pixels which are not read out.
1. Frame readout mode
In this mode, all pixel signals are divided into three fields and output.
All pixel signals are read out independently, making this mode suitable for high resolution image capturing.
2. High frame rate readout mode
Output is performed at 30 frames per second by reading out 4 pixels for every 12 vertical pixels and adding
2 pixels in the horizontal CCD.
The number of output lines is 258 lines.
This readout mode emphasizes processing speed over vertical resolution.
