Light Source: Broadband Quartz Halogen, BG-38, with 750nm cutoff filter
installed, Correction Color Temperature = 5300°K.
Ambient Test Temperature: 25°C.
Output swing (FFC off): 3220 DN includes 180 DN Dark Offset. (Range of 0 to
4095 DN).
Output swing (FFC on): 3800 DN.
All numbers are 12-bit unless specified otherwise.
The responsivity of each color is adjusted to achieve equal output.
Tested in Camera Link Mode clm 16.
PRNU specified at 75% of full swing.
General Notes:
Specifications apply to both 60 MHz and the 80 MHz camera models unless
indicated otherwise.
Specification with "FFC on" apply to the factory calibrated FFC. User calibrated
FFC may have a different affect on camera performance.
*FPN Notes:
2K80 cameras have increased FPN on the blue outputs between pixels 533 - 543
and 1506 - 1516.
4K80 cameras have increased FPN on the blue outputs between pixels 1045 - 1055
and 3042 - 3052.
Outside of this range, FPN meets the same specification as the other colors.
