3.9.3 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 Sony CCD starts with R.
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.
3.9.4 Sync and Data
The individual color data is exactly the same as the pixel data. This means that the timing relationships
of the color cameras are also the same as of the B/W cameras.
For a detailed timing chart, please refer to each B/W camera’s data sheet and manual.
If the frame grabber has a standard B/W configuration file, then AccuPiXEL color cameras can use that
configuration file to operate. The configuration file may vary, depending on whether the output is
standard (RS-644) or Camera Link. Please consult JAI PULNiX, or your frame grabber supplier for
compatibility information.
