7.1. Digital Video Output (Bit Allocation)
Although the CV-M9GE is a digital camera, the image is generated by an analog component, the
CCD sensor. There are three CCD sensors in this camera. One for each R, G and B channel.
The table and diagram below show the relationship between the analog CCD output level and
the digital output.

7.2. Bit Allocation (Pixel Format / Pixel Type)
In the GigE Vision Interface, GVSP (GigE Vision Streaming Protocol) is used for an application
layer protocol relying on the UDP transport layer protocol. It allows an application to receive
image data, image information and other information from a device.
In CV-M9GE, the following pixel types supported by GVSP are available.
With regard to the details of GVSP, please refer to the GigE Vision Specification available from
AIA.
