pixels per line that the recorded image may have.

However, often only a certain section of the entire image is of interest. The 
amount of data to be transferred can be decreased by limiting the image to 
a section when reading it out from the camera. At a lower vertical resolution 
the sensor can be read out faster and thus the frame rate is increased.

While the size of the image read out for most other video formats and modes 
is fixed by the IIDC specification, thereby determining the highest possible 
frame rate, in Format_7 mode the user can set the upper left corner and 
width and height of the section (area of interest = AOI) he is interested in 
to determine the size and thus the highest possible frame rate.

Setting the AOI is done in the IMAGE_POSITION and IMAGE_SIZE registers.

IMAGE_POSITION and IMAGE_SIZE contain in the respective bits values for 
the column and line of the upper left corner and values for the width and 
height.

The setting of AOIs is supported only in video Format_7.

Pay attention to the increments entering in the 
UNIT_SIZE_INQ and UNIT_POSITION_INQ registers when con-
figuring IMAGE_POSITION and IMAGE_SIZE.
