FUNCTIONS

When the output frame rate is reduced (3.75 fps of DFW-SX900, 7.5 fps of DFW-X700), images will be read out from the CCD for every VD. However, as every other image is used, the images read out during the isochronous output period will not be used.

When exposure time is over 1 frame

When exposure time over 1 frame is specified (extended exposing mode), the A period until images are output from the VDs and B period outputting images are the same as the above case. However, as no images are output during the exposure time, the actual frame rate will drop.
