MOBOTIX cameras use a CMOS image sensor with a hardware resolution of 1280 x 960 pixels. The following image formats can be selected as standard by combining:

Mega: 1280 x 960 pixels,
VGA: 640 x 480 pixels,
CIF: 320 x 240 pixels,
Small: 160 x 120 pixels.

MOBOTIX cameras support zoom and pan functions. If VGA (640 x 480 pixels) is selected as the output format,

the megapixel image may be combined to VGA at 1x zoom, or
a VGA detail can be taken from the megapixel image position-free (PAN) at 2x zoom, or
a CIF detail can be taken position-free (PAN) at 4x zoom and be enlarged to VGA.

In addition, user-specific image sizes can also be derived from the entire image area. Therefore, a 1000 x 400 pixel image strip can be taken from the megapixel image and be reduced to a 500 x 200 pixel image through combination in the camera. The frame rate will vary according to the number of pixels that are actually transmitted.
