PixelFormat [Enum] R/W
There are various pixel data formats that AVT GigE IR and scientific cameras can
output. Not all cameras have every mode (see the Technical Manuals for
details):
Mono8 Bit depth: 8. One pixel every byte. Monochrome. For color cameras with on-
camera interpolation, luminance (Y) channel returned.
Mono10 Bit depth: 10. One pixel every two bytes, LSB aligned. Monochrome. For color
cameras with on-camera interpolation, luminance (Y) channel returned.
Mono12 Bit depth: 12. One pixel every two bytes, LSB aligned. Monochrome. For color
cameras with on-camera interpolation, luminance (Y) channel returned.
Mono12Packed Bit depth: 12. 2 pixels of data every 3 bytes. Monochrome. Doesn’t support odd
Width x Height.
Mono14 Bit depth: 14. One pixel every two bytes, LSB aligned. Monochrome. For color
cameras with on-camera interpolation, luminance (Y) channel returned.
BayerGB8 Bit depth: 8. Raw, un-interpolated color. Interpolation performed by host soft-
ware.
BayerRG8 Bit depth: 8. Raw, un-interpolated color. Interpolation performed by host soft-
ware.
BayerGR8 Bit depth: 8. Raw, un-interpolated color. Interpolation performed by host soft-
ware.
BayerBG8 Bit depth: 8. Raw, un-interpolated color. Interpolation performed by host soft-
ware.
BayerBG10 Bit depth: 10. One pixel every two bytes, LSB aligned. Raw, un-interpolated
color. Interpolation performed by host software.
BayerGB12Packed Bit depth: 12. 2 pixels of data every 3 bytes. Raw, un-interpolated color. Inter-
polation performed by host software. Doesn’t support odd Width or Height.
BayerGR12Packed Bit depth: 12. 2 pixels of data every 3 bytes. Raw, un-interpolated color. Inter-
polation performed by host software. Doesn’t support odd Width or Height.
BayerGB12 Bit depth: 12. One pixel every two bytes, LSB aligned. Raw, un-interpolated
color. Interpolation performed by host software.
BayerRG12 Bit depth: 12. One pixel every two bytes, LSB aligned. Raw, un-interpolated
color. Interpolation performed by host software.
BayerGR12 Bit depth: 12. One pixel every two bytes, LSB aligned. Raw, un-interpolated
color. Interpolation performed by host software.
RGB8Packed Bit depth: 8. One pixel every three bytes. On-camera interpolated color.
BGR8Packed Bit depth: 8. One pixel every three bytes. On-camera interpolated color.
RGBA8Packed Bit depth: 8. One pixel every four bytes. On-camera interpolated color. Alpha
channel (A) is fully opaque, 0xFF
BGRA8Packed Bit depth: 8. One pixel every four bytes. On-camera interpolated color. Alpha
channel (A) is fully opaque, 0xFF
