3 Tap RGB
” – In this mode each pixel is sent in 24 bit format (3 x 8 bit RGB),
starting with the first pixel of the first line and ending with the last pixel of the
line. Each pixel consists of three components R (red), G (green) and B (blue),
which can be only 8 bits deep. This feature is optional, please contact Imperx
for more information.

Dual Output Cameras
For the dual output cameras (B0620, B1620, B1920 and B2520) there are several
options available, since the camera can work in a single or in a dual output mode
and can have a color or monochrome imager. In a single mode (not available in
B2520) operation for the camera with monochrome imager the user has only one
option – 1 Tap Sequential. If the camera has a color imager and is in a single mode,
user can select the raw Bayer data output (1 Tap Sequential) or the interpolated
color – 3 Tap RGB. For Dual mode of operation regardless of imager type (mono or
color) the user has two choices – 2 Tap Sequential or 2 Tap Interleaved. 3 Tap RGB
is not available because of bandwidth limitations for Base Camera Link

“
2 Tap Sequential
” – In this mode all pixels are sent to two outputs (Tap 1 and
Tap2) in the following sequence – Figure 2.24a. Each pixel can be 8, 10 or 12
deep (14 bit output is not available in this mode). This feature is optional, please
contact Imperx for more information.
-
Tap 1 – starting (for every line) with the pixel 1 and then all pixels in a
sequence (1, 2, 3 … M-1, M) until reaches the middle pixel (if the
CCD has 1000 pixels in one line, the middle pixel M is #500.
Tap 2 – starting (for every line) with the pixel M+1 and then all pixels in a
sequence (M+1, M+2, M+3 …L-1, L) until reaches the last pixel for
the line.
