Basic Operation & Standard Features
BASLER A600f 3-35
DRAFT
When the 4:2:2 YUV ID is set in the Color_Coding_ID field of the Format_7, Mode_0 register, the
camera outputs image data in the YUV 4:2:2 format at an average of 16 bits per pixel.
When the camera is operating in the YUV 4:2:2 or Raw 16 modes:
On the
A601fc, the maximum frame rate is 30 fps.
On the
A602fc, with the AOI is set to full resolution, the maximum frame rate is 50 fps.
Format_7, Mode_1
Format_7, Mode_1 is available on A601fc and A602fc color cameras. This mode is very similar to
Format_7, Mode_0 with the exception of the available color codings and how the color codings
work.
Format_7, Mode 1 is parameterized by using the Format_7, Mode 1 control and status registers
(see page 4-14).
Color Codings
In Format_7, Mode_1, only the Mono 8 color coding is available and the color coding works
differently than the Mono 8 color coding available in Format_7, Mode_0.
When the
Mono 8 ID is set in the Color_Coding_ID field of the Format_7, Mode_1 register, the
camera outputs 8 bits per pixel and outputs the raw data for each pixel. The pixel data is not
processed to account for the color filter. (This type of output is sometimes called “Bayer 8.”)
This mode of operation is included on
A601fc and A602fc color cameras for compatibility with
versions 1.6 and below of the Basler BCAM 1394 driver software. These early versions of the
BCAM software cannot properly access the Raw 8 color coding. Instead, they require a Mono 8
color coding that results in the output of raw pixel data.
L
The Raw 8 and Raw 16 color codings are defined in version 1.31 of the IIDC specifi-
cation.
Color code definitions can vary from camera model to camera model. This is especially
true for older models of Basler cameras.
