Description
The ACC-CX3RDK-5680 is a USB 3.0 camera capable of streaming camera frames 1280x 720
@ 60 fps, 1920x1080 @ 30 fps, 2592x1944 @ 30fps and 640x480 @ 120fps. It currently
supports RAW Bayer output (BY8) in all the resolutions only in USB 3.0.
Bayer image format is one of the most commonly supported RAW image format by digital
cameras. Unlike MJPEG or YUV, Bayer image cannot be viewed directly by any viewer or cannot
be rendered using default DirectShow video renderers. Hence, e-con Systems designed a
DirectShow transform filter that supports streaming of 8-bit Bayer camera through USB interface.
To know more about the See3CAM Bayer Filter please check out the Bayer Filter Property Page
section.
