8.2.1 Pixel Data Formats Available on Cameras with
a CMYeG Filter
YUV Formats
On a color camera equipped with a CMYeG filter, the pixel values go through several conversion
steps. This process yields Y, U, and V color information for the pixels.
These cameras can then output color pixel data in a YUV 4:2:2 Packed format or in a YUV 4:2:2
(YUYV) Packed format.
For complete details of the YUV data output formats, see Section 9.3 on
Mono Format
On cameras equipped with a CMYeG color filter, the pixel values are converted to the YUV color
model as described earlier. The camera can then output pixel data in the Mono 8 format.
When a color camera is set for Mono 8, the 8 bit Y value for each pixel is transmitted to the host
PC. In the YUV color model, the Y component for each pixel represents a brightness value. This
brightness value can be considered as equivalent to the value that would be sent from a pixel in a
monochrome camera. So in essence, when a color camera is set for Mono 8, it outputs an 8 bit
monochrome image. (This type of output is sometimes referred to as "Y Mono 8".)
For complete details of the Mono 8 format, see Section 9.3 on
