grayscale format with the exception of the LUT/gamma curves.
o Direct raw bayer (12)
Direct output of the sensor's raw data (12 bits per pixel, starting from the least significant bit
(LSB)).
o Direct raw bayer (16)
Direct output of the sensor's raw data (12 bits per pixel, starting from the most significant bit
(MSB)).
o Grayscale (8)
Output of a grayscale image to which the LUT/gamma curve has been applied (8 bits per pixel).
o Grayscale (12)
Output of a grayscale image to which the LUT/gamma curve has been applied (12 bits per pixel,
starting from least significant bit (LSB)).
o Grayscale (16)
Output of a grayscale image to which the LUT/gamma curve has been applied (12 bits per pixel,
starting from most significant bit (MSB)).
o RGB15 (5 5 5)
Output of an image converted according to RGB 15 (5 bits per pixel for R, G and B)
o RGB16 (5 6 5)
Output of an image converted according to RGB 16 (5 bits per pixel for R and G, 6 bits per pixel for
B)
o RGB24 (8 8 8)
Output of an image converted according to RGB 24 (8 bits per pixel for R, G and B)
o RGB32 (8 8 8)
Output of an image converted according to RGB 32 (8 bits per pixel for R, G and B, 8 bit padding)
o RGBY (8 8 8 8)
Output of an image converted according to RGB 24 (8 bits per pixel for R, G and B) and an
additional gray channel (8 bits per pixel)
o RGB30 (10 10 10)
Output of an image converted according to RGB 30 (10 bits per pixel for R, G and B, 2 bit padding
(MSB = 0))
o YUV422
Output of an image converted according to YUV (8 bits per pixel for U, Y, V and Y)
o YCbCr (8 8 8 8)
Output of an image converted according to YUV (8 bits per pixel for Cb, Y, Cr and Y)
· Display mode
With these radio buttons you select the display mode for the image.
§ Device independent (DIB)
The processor actively renders the image. This color format is supported by all graphics
hardware and is recommended for applications that will be used on different PCs.

We recommend 32-bit RGB mode for TrueColor applications. Y8 mode is usually used for
monochrome applications.
The General: Color Formats and Memory Formats chapter in the uEye Programming
Manual shows you in detail how the color formats are represented in the image memory.
