9.2.3Starting 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 line. 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 is exactly the same. Contact JAI Inc. for further information regarding CCD manufacturers.

9.2.4Sync 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 monochrome cameras.

For a detailed timing chart, please refer to each monochrome camera’s data sheet and manual.

The following diagram is an example of the TMC-4200GE default mode. FDV and LDV are used internally for the GigE interface.
