If you compare the color combinations in the binned pixels for field 0 with the color combinations for
the binned pixels in field 1, you will see that they are equivalent. The pattern of the colors in the
complementary filter was designed specifically to make this possible, and it means that the color
information can be manipulated in an identical fashion regardless of whether the camera is working
with pixel values from field 0 or from field 1.
Preparing the combined color data in the binned pixels of an acquired field for transmission from
the camera is a several step process:
The CMYeG sensor colors are converted into a YUV color signal.
A matrix color transformation is performed on the YUV color information to obtain full RGB
color information for each binned pixel.
If the camera’s white balance feature is used, it will act on the RGB information for each binned
pixel.
If the camera’s color adjustment feature is used, it will act on the RGB information for each
binned pixel.
If the camera’s gamma correction feature is used, it will act on the RGB information for each
binned pixel.
A final transformation is performed on the RGB color information to convert it to YUV
information for each binned pixel.
The binned pixel values are transmitted from the camera in a YUV format.
