Digital Zoom
Reg0x1E Digital Zoom/True decimation
In zoom mode, the pixel data rate is slowed down by
a factor of either 2 or 4, and either 1 or 3 additional
blank rows are added between each output row. This is
designed to give the controller logic time to repeat
data to fill in a window that is either 2 or 4 times larger
with repeated data.
The pixel clock speed is not affected by this opera-
tion, and the output data for each pixel is valid for
either 2 or 4 pixel clocks. In zoom by 2 mode, every row
is followed by a blank row (with its own line valid, but
all data bits = 0) of equal time. In zoom by 4 mode,
every row is followed by three blank rows. The combi-
nation of this register and an appropriate change to
the window sizing registers allows the user to zoom to
a region of interest without affecting the frame rate.

True Decimation mode
Reg0x1E Digital Zoom/True decimation
True decimation mode is intended for use in sen-
sors without color filtering. There are three modes
with different amount of decimation. In decimate 2x
every other column and row are skipped. In decimate
Figure 14: Readout of 8 Pixels in Normal and 2x Decimation Output Mode
4x three rows/columns will be skipped for every row/
column read out, and in decimate 8x seven rows/col-
umns will be skipped for every row/column read out.
Decimate 2x is shown in Figure 14. In decimation
mode the global gain register should be used to set the
gain.

By setting bits 14 and 5 of Reg0x20 the readout order
of the columns will be reversed, as shown in Figure 15.
