Pixel Data Formats
Basler pilot 111
When the camera is set for Mono 16, the pixel data output is 16 bit data of the “unsigned short (little
endian)” type. The available range of data values and the corresponding indicated signal levels are
as shown in the table below. Note that for 16 bit data, you might expect a value range from 0x0000
to 0xFFFF. However, with the camera set for Mono16 only 12 bits of the 16 bits transmitted are
effective. Therefore, the highest data value you will see is 0x0FFF indicating a signal level of 4095.

Note
When a camera that is set for Mono 16 has only 12 bits effective, the leader
of transmitted frames will indicate Mono 12 as the pixel format.
