3.1.3 (a) Field Mode
In Field mode, two horizontal rows are scanned simultaneously. At each interlace scan, the scanned
pairs are changed. Thus the sensitivity of the CCD is doubled for one field of integration. When
compared to Frame mode, in which each horizontal row is scanned separately, Field mode obtains the
same sensitivity in half the time period. The field integration is done by combining two pixel rows
(binning) together and each pair alternates as interlace scan is generated. Row 1 is binned with row 2,
and row 3 is binned with row 4. In Field 2, row 2 is binned with row 3, row 4 with row 5, and so on. The
field mode is very effective in shutter mode since the pixel sensitivity is doubled for field integration (1/
60 sec) and equals with frame mode (one row at 1/30 sec). Since shutter mode is only one field output
per shutter and darker than normal image, two-row binning is effective. This mode also reduces interlace
moire when a sharp horizontal pattern is observed.
Moire is unnoticeable because of alternating two-row scanning. The vertical resolution in Field mode is
not as good as that in Frame mode, but it is sufficient to view the full vertical resolution of the TV
format.
Note: 1. Since only one field are output in the Field mode, it cannot provide full frame resolution
in strobe lighting applications.
2. The TM-76(CCIR) is 1/50 sec. for Field and 1/25 sec. for Frame mode.
3.1.3 (b) Frame Mode
In Frame mode, each horizontal row is scanned as interlace scanning. The integration of each pixel is
one frame period. In Frame mode, vertical pixel resolution is good, and the exact location is obtained. In
comparison with Field mode, however, Frame mode has the disadvantage of showing vertical Moire.
Frame mode should be used in applications that need strobe lighting, because full frame resolution is
achieved in this mode. For higher pixel definition such as gauging and sub-pixel interpolation, Frame
mode operation is recommended.
