Receive "GVSP_PIX_BAYGR10_PACKED" Format

[hkgige]

Hello.

I want to receive "GVSP_PIX_BAYGR10_PACKED" format image by using NI-IMAQdx.

But NI-IMAQdx displays an error message.

NI-IMAQdx can receive  "GVSP_PIX_BAYGR10_PACKED" Format?

Hi,

Currently packed bayer formats (as opposed to unpacked) are _not_ supported natively by IMAQdx.

Thank you.  

I think, "Packed Format" is very efficient method.

It's an unexpected result.

Hi hkgige,

Currently Vision only supports decoding bayer images to RGB32, not RGB64, so there is not much advantage to sending bayer formats >8bit. We do support unpacked 10 and 12 bit bayer formats but the result is still only 8-bits per color plane (RGB32). Every camera that has supported 10 and 12-bit packed bayer formats I have seen has supported 8-bits as well, so there was not much lost by not supporting the 10/12-bit packed modes.

We do have an open request to add higher bit-depth bayer decoding (to RGB64) which does necessitate the packed bayer formats to achieve the best efficiency, so it is likely we might support these at some point.
