This requirement makes digital output the preferred choice, because the timing relationships are very
accurate

8.2.3 Starting Pixel Configuration
All manufacturers produce identical Bayer CFAs, but there are slight differences between the CCDs
produced by different manufacturers. The first line is generally R and G. The camera timing can be
adjusted to start with either G or R by skipping the very first pixels at each lines. The majority of color
interpolation software can select between a variety of pixel relations, such as R/G start or G/R start, as
well as G/B start and B/G start. Once the correct scanning is configured, the rest of the interpolation will
be exactly the same. Please contact JAI PULNiX for further information regarding CCD manufacturers.
