Pixel Format

The internal processing of image data is performed in 12 bits. Then, the camera can output the data in 8, 10 or
12 bits. When the camera outputs the image data in 8 bits or 10 bits, the 4 or 2 least significant bits will be
truncated accordingly.

The image data converted to 8, 10 or 12 bits support various pixel data format depending on the camera model.
The pixel data will be reordered in FPGA according to the Pixel Format setting value. Then, it will be stored in
the frame buffer before output. XML parameter related to the Pixel Format is as follows.
