11 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.
11.1 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 7 lists the pixel formats available on each monochrome
camera model and Table 8 lists the pixel formats available on each color camera model.
Details of the monochrome formats are described in Section 11.2 on page 143 and details of the
color formats are described in Section 11.3 on page 149.
