SP-12000M-CXP4 / SP-12000C-CXP4
Video Process Bypass Mode
The Video Process Bypass mode is a function that bypasses internal image processing on the camera.
On the SP-12000, DSNU correction and shading, gain, blemish, and black level adjustment are
normally performed on the sensor output signal. However, when the Video Process Bypass mode is
used, images can be imported to the system without image processing* being performed internally
on the camera. The Video Process Bypass mode is ideally used in cases where image processing is
performed by the system.
In addition, images are output from the camera in 12-bit format only when the Video Process Bypass
function is used.
* Excluding DSNU correction and black level adjustment.
