2 x full binning and 4 x full binning
2 x full binning: 4 pixel signals from 2 adjacent rows and columns are com-
bined and their signals are averaged.
4 x full binning: 16 pixel signals from 4 adjacent rows and columns are com-
bined and their signals are averaged.
Binning mode Guppy F-036B Guppy F-503B/C
2 x full binning 4 pixel signals from 2 adjacent rows
and columns are combined and their
signals are averaged. 4 pixel signals from 2 vertical
adjacent rows and columns (same-
color pixels) are combined and their
signals are horizontally added/
averaged and vertically averaged.
4 x full binning 16 pixel signals from 4 vertical adja-
cent rows and columns are com-
bined and their signals are averaged. 16 pixel signals from 4 vertical
adjacent rows and columns (same-
color pixels) are combined and their
signals are horizontally added/
averaged and vertically averaged.
Averaged? or Additive? Only averaged Horizontal: additive
Vertical: averaged
When the signal is averaged, the image will not be brighter than without binning.
When the signal is additive, the image will be brighter than without binning.
