2.8 DATA OUTPUT FORMAT

The internal camera processing of the CCD data is performed in 12 bits. The
camera can output the data in 12, 10 or 8 bit format. During this standard bit
reduction process, the least significant bits are truncated – Figure 2.49.

10 bit output:
8 bit output:
D0
If the 12 bit original camera data is D0 (LSB) to D11 (MSB), and
camera is set to output 12 bit data, the 12 output bits are mapped
to D0 (LSB) to D11 (MSB).
If the 12 bit original camera data is D0 (LSB) to D11 (MSB), and
camera is set to output 10 bit data, the 10 output bits are mapped
to D2 (LSB) to D11 (MSB).
If the 12 bit original camera data is D0 (LSB) to D11 (MSB), and
camera is set to output 8 bit data, the 8 output bits are mapped to
D4 (LSB) to D11 (MSB).
