· USB3 Vision (cross platform, via 3rd party driver) · UVC/V4L2 (on Linux, via uvcvideo) · IC Imaging Control (on Windows, via Device Driver for The Imaging Source USB Cameras) Sensor Readout Control 5.1.1 Pixel Format The pixel format defines the data type of the pixels transmitted to the computer. The bits per pixel needed for a particular pixel format influence the required bandwith.
5.1.1.2 16-Bit Monochrome The sensor of the DMK 33UX264 camera is not capable of providing 16-bit data output. Instead, the pixel data is transmitted in the most significant bits which allows application programs to ignore the sensor-specific data type, and treat the data as if the sensor outputs 16 bits.
USB3 Vision: GenICam 5.1.3 Readout Modes The DMK 33UX264 camera offers different sensor readout modes. By default, the camera outputs all pixels of the image sensor. In skipping modes, the image sensor regularly skips a number of rows and/or columns during readout.
Partial Scan Offset If the selected resolution is smaller than the sensor size, the part of the sensor that is actually read out can be specified by the Partial Scan Offset X and Partial Scan Offset Y DMK 33UX264 Technical Reference Manual...
VCD Property \VCDElement_PartialScanAutoCenter 5.1.6 Image Flipping The DMK 33UX264 camera allows flipping of the image data horizontally, vertically, or both. The Flip Horizontal and Flip Vertical parameters can be used to control this sensor feature. DMK 33UX264 Technical Reference Manual...
