Pixel format in CoaXPress can be set to either 8-bit or 10-bit output. However, as shown in the chart
below, the 10-bit CoaXPress pixel format is not available (x) if the sensor is set to 8-bit pixel format.

JAI recommends the following settings depending on applications.
 If the objective is to maximize the frame rate:
The sensor pixel format should be set to a smaller value. However, if the sensor pixel format and the
CXP pixel format are set to the same bit depth, “gaps” or “breaks” may occur in the histogram gain when
is Example: applied. Sensor format is 8-bit and CXP format is 8-bit
 If picture quality is the first priority:
The sensor pixel format should be set larger than that of the CXP pixel format.
Example: Sensor format is 12-bit and CXP format is 8-bit
The relationship between pixel format and maximum frame rate is determined as described in the
following table.
