DATA OUTPUT FORMAT
The internal camera processing of the CCD data is performed in 12 bits. The
camera can output the data in 12, 10 or 8 bit format. During this standard bit
reduction process, the least significant bits are truncated – Figure 2.45.
12 bit output:
If the 12 bit original camera data is D0 (LSB) to D11 (MSB),
and camera is set to output 12 bit data, the 12 output bits are
mapped to D0 (LSB) to D11 (MSB).
10 bit output:
If the 12 bit original camera data is D0 (LSB) to D11 (MSB),
and camera is set to output 10 bit data, the 10 output bits are
mapped to D2 (LSB) to D11 (MSB).
8 bit output:
If the 12 bit original camera data is D0 (LSB) to D11 (MSB),
and camera is set to output 8 bit data, the 8 output bits are
mapped to D4 (LSB) to D11 (MSB).
