Abstract

See full text

A high frame rate camera includes; a multi-channel sensor array for producing a plurality of parallel analog image signals representative of a sensed image; a plurality of analog-to-digital converters (ADC) for converting each of the parallel analog image signals to parallel digital image signals, wherein each of the ADCs has a fine gain parameter which is a function of a top ladder potential and also has a fine offset parameter which is a function of a bottom ladder potential; and a control for controlling the fine gain and offset parameters of each of the ADCs by means of fine gain and offset control signals which are a function of desired average output black and gray levels of the image signal.
