Frame rate cannot reach specifications in catalog.

The frame rate specified in the catalog is the fastest rate achievable. The following reasons may cause the actual frame rate to be lower than the frame rate marked in the catalog.

1) Exposure time too long. Frame rate is determined by two factors: output speed and exposure time. Exposure time determines how fast the sensor generates an image. Output speed determines how fast the image is transmitted to the computer. If exposure time is A (in milliseconds), the frame rate will be the slower of the frame rate marked in the catalog and the frame rate calculated through exposure time (1000/A). If exposure time is the reason why the frame rate is not as fast as expected, the exposure time can be reduced to achieve faster frame rate. If brightness is insufficient, gain settings can be adjusted.

2) Incorrect bit depth setting. For cameras with bit depth settings higher than 8-bit, selecting bit depth greater than 8-bit may cause slower frame rate. The frame rate marked in the catalog is based on frame rate in 8-bit mode.

3) If exposure time and bit depth are not the reasons, please check frame rate level settings and ensure they are in the correct position. Even though the rightmost is the fastest, if this is a performance issue, dragging it to the left may improve frame rate.
