Figure  6-2 shows the frame size and subsampling controls on the video 
capture application.  Any x2 or x4 subsampling is allowed, including 
combined binning and decimation. 
6.5  Subwindowing 
Often the area of interest in an image will be a small portion of the whole 
image.  In this case, there is no need to send all of the image data.  The 
CMOS imagers support  subwindowing, where only the pixels from a 
rectangular subwindow of the image are sent back.  The imagers support 
independent subwindowing in vertical and horizontal directions.  The only 
constraint is that the number of pixels in a line, or the number of lines in a 
subwindow, must be a multiple of 8. 
Subwindows are chosen using the Size pulldown menu in the capture 
application.  For example, 320x240 always outputs a 320x240 subwindow.  
How much of the original image is shown depends on the decimation 
mode.  A decimation of x4, for example, means that the 320x240 subimage 
covers almost the entire original image.  With a fixed subwindow size, you 
can think of subsampling as electronic zoom. 
6.6  Electronic Pan and Tilt 
Since a subwindow doesn’t occupy the whole image, it can be placed at 
different positions within the image.  The subwindow position can be set by 
user commands, effectively creating an electronic pan/tilt feature as the 
subwindow is moved.   
The placement of the subwindow is controlled by specifying the location of 
its upper left corner, as an X and Y offset in pixels.  Figure 6-1 shows the 
location of the subwindow offset slider controls in the  Video Parameters 
dialog. 
6.7  Electronic Vergence 
Your eyes verge when looking at close objects, that is, they point inwards 
from a parallel view.  Vergence is important when viewing close objects, 
because it allows the object to be centered in each image. 
The STH-MD1/-C supports electronic vergence, which simulates 
mechanical vergence.  In electronic vergence, the horizontal offset of the 
left subwindow differs from that of the right.  This differential offset 
effectively causes the imagers to point inwards towards the close object.
