I'm not sure that I understand what you want to get, but my first idea 
is that if you want to see just a thousand pixels you can do a 31x31 
render or something like this.
Apart from that, I don't think you can select pixels to be rendered from 
a pool of 512x384 pixels, you would e able to do that by specifying 
spans that you want to render in the image, but that would mean to redo 
the parsing of the scene each time.
