9 Pixel Data Formats
By selecting a pixel data format, you determine the format (layout) of the image data transmitted by
the camera. This section provides detailed information about the available pixel data formats.
9.1 Setting the Pixel Data Format
The setting for the camera’s Pixel Format parameter determines the format of the pixel data that will
be output from the camera. The available pixel formats depend on the camera model and whether
the camera is monochrome or color. Table 12 lists the pixel formats available on each monochrome
camera model and Table 13 lists the pixel formats available on each color camera model.
