    · 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 33U, 37U and 38U Cameras) Sensor Readout Control 5.1.1 Pixel Format The pixel format defines the data type of the pixels transmitted to the computer.
  • Page 15: 8-Bit Bayer Raw

    16-Bit Bayer Raw This format transmits data using 2 bytes for each pixel. The sensor of the DFK 33UX252 camera is not able to provide 16-bit data output. The pixel data is transmitted in the most significant bits. This allows application programs to ignore the sensor-specific data type and to treat the data as if the sensor outputs 16 bits.
  • Page 16: Yuv 4:1:1

    USB3 Vision drivers see this pixel format as YCbCr411_8 and YCbCr411_8_CbYYCrYY. UVC drivers see it with the FourCC Y411. The Device Driver for The Imaging Source USB 33U, 37U and 38U Cameras offers this pixel format as the Y411 video format. 5.1.1.5 RGB24 The camera converts the raw pixel data from the sensor to RGB24.
