Single Channel
One channel presents the pixel data in sequential order. The acquired sequence represents the original
image, without need of sorting or reformatting. The figure below (single channel) shows where the
data appears in the original image. PC2-CamLink can support this format for pixel depths from 8-bit
up to 16-bit. The IFC Software Library calls this “One Channel Left to Right” or CL2_1CHAN_L2R.

Single channel
Odd-Even Pixels
One channel (A) carries only the even pixels, the other (B) carries only odd. Data is presented
simultaneously on both channels. The pixels are “interleaved” in the original image. The figure below
(odd-even pixels) shows where the data appears in a line from the original image. PC2-CamLink can
support this format for pixel depths from 8-bits up to 12-bits. The IFC Software Library calls this
‘Two Channel Interleaved’ or CL2_2CHAN_INTERLEAVED.

Odd-even pixels
Dual-Channel with Line Segments
One channel (A) carries the left half of the line or frame, the other (B) carries the right half of the line
or frame. Data is presented simultaneously on both channels. The figure below (two line segments)
shows where the data appears in a line from the original image. PC2-CamLink can support this format
for pixel depths from 8-bits up to 12-bits. The IFC Software Library calls this “Two Channel Separate
Tap Left to Right” or CL2_2CHAN_SEP_TAP_L2R.
