Many engineers start with the default frame rate of a sensor and only revisit it when something stops working as expected. In SWIR imaging, that often means running into bandwidth limits, unstable processing loads, or image quality trade-offs that could have been optimized earlier.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The good news is that frame rate can often be fine-tuned directly through sensor timing settings, without changing hardware.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The frame rate is determined by:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Frame rate = Pixel clock \/ (VMAX \u00d7 HMAX)<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In most designs, the main adjustment point is\u00a0<\/span>VMAX<\/span><\/b>, which defines the number of vertical lines in each frame.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
