7.10 Miscellaneous Properties
7.10.1 PixelFormat
The property PixelFormat (in category ImageFormatControl ) sets the pixel format. For 10 bits and
12 bits there is a selection of plain or packed format. The plain format uses more bandwidth
than the packed format, but is easier to process in the software. Table 7.4 shows the number of
bits per pixel to are required for a pixel format. Fig. 7.5 shows the bit alignment of the packed
pixel formats.
DataFormat Bits per pixel

Table 7.4: GigE pixel format overview
The DR1 color camera models have the
BayerGB8
format. This should be used to
display the debayered color image in the PF_GEVPlayer display. To demodulate
the image by the SDK the format
Mono8
must be used.
