5.3.2.2 FL3-U3-13Y3 Custom Formats, Modes and Frame Rates
Many USB 3.0 PCI Express Gen 2.0 motherboards limit data rates to ~180MByte/s. The FlyCap2
Camera Selection dialog shows the supported PCIe bus speed. If you select a video format/mode
that requires data rates above what is supported, the camera will skip images.
For example: 1920 x 1080, 60 FPS, YUV422 = ~248 MB/s

Choosing a Mono pixel format enables FPGA processing, i.e., Gamma/Lookup Table,
but limits the frame rate. Choosing a Raw pixel format disables FPGA processing, but
increases the frame rate.
