PARTIAL SCAN MODE
The partial scan mode is a function for outputting part of the full images a region of interest on the whole image. Based on the unit cell as the unit, continuous parts can be selected. Only rectangles can be selected. The screen cannot be cut in convex and L shapes. The output image can be any rectangle drawn on an imaginary grid on the full image (shown here a 4 � 4 grid on the full CCD).
Cutting by partial scan mode
Vertical (Vertical Direction)
Horizontal (Horizontal Direction)
The XCD-SX900 and XCD-X700 partial scan mode can only be used with external trigger. The partial scan mode does not function in normal continuous mode. The unit size of the XCD-SX900 and XCD-X700 is 1/16 of the whole screen (screen divided into four parts vertically and horizontally). The XCD-SX900 and XCD-X700 partial scan mode is designed to increase the frame rate when the number of vertical lines in the output image is reduced. The trigger interval is shortened when the height cut in the vertical direction is small, in addition to the partial readout function. No matter how small the width cut in the horizontal direction, the trigger interval cannot be shortened. (Users of the Sony camera adapter CMA-87 should take it as the same mechanism as the high-rate function when combining the XC-7500/XC-8500CE and CMA-87. However, cutting in the horizontal direction is not possible for the CMA-87.)
