8.2.3 Starting Pixel Configuration
All manufacturers produce identical Bayer CFAs, but there are slight differences between the CCDs
produced by different manufacturers. The first line is generally R and G. The camera timing can be
adjusted to start with either G or R by skipping the very first pixels at each lines. The majority of color
interpolation software can select between a variety of pixel relations, such as R/G start or G/R start, as
well as G/B start and B/G start. Once the correct scanning is configured, the rest of the interpolation
will be exactly the same. Please contact JAI PULNiX for further information regarding CCD
manufacturers.
