Mono 8
Mono 12
For all dart BCON

You can find detailed information about the mono and color pixel formats in the Pixel Format
Naming Convention, Version 1.1 and above. The document is available from the Automated
Imaging Association (AIA).
You can set the PixelFormat parameter value from within your application software by using the
Basler pylon API. The following code snippet illustrates using the API to set the pixel format to
Bayer GB 12:
// Set the pixel format to Bayer GB 12
camera.PixelFormat.SetValue(PixelFormat_BayerGB12);
The standard alignment of the Bayer filter to the pixels in the images acquired by
the dart BCON color cameras is
GB
.
If you are using dart model daA1600-60bc or daA2500-14bc, the alignment will
change if you enable image mirroring.
For more information about
the color filter alignment, see Section 11.6.1 on
.
image mirroring, see Section 11.9 on
The image sensor of the daA1600-60uc/um delivers 10 bits of data per pixel.
If you set the daA1600-60uc/um for a 12-bit pixel format (Mono 12 or Bayer 12),
the camera will output 12-bit image data based on 10-bit sensor data.
