11.2 Embedded Information in Image

The embedded information function and chunk data function may differ by camera models.

The camera supports adding and embedding the collection information to the image data. You can
set in the client software and define which information to be embedded in the image data.

Embedded information includes following categories:

Timestamp

Gain

Exposure

Brightness

Info

White Balance, Frame Counter

Ext Triggering Count

Line Input Output

Width

Height

Offset X

Offset Y

Pixel Format

, and

ROI

Position

. Each category of embedded information has

its unique data format.
