Do The Imaging Source color CCD cameras output raw image data?

Yes. The Imaging Source color CCD cameras offer two modes to achieve this: Y800: Camera based color interpolation is turned off and the raw color data stream from the CCD is outputted in the monochrome format Y800. The camera control software IC Capture.AS displays color images in their raw form. Therefore, they appear to be monochrome at first sight. This mode is not suited to visualization applications. However, should you wish to capture an uncompressed AVI file, you should use this mode. BY8: the structure of this format is equivalent to that of the format Y800. When BY8 is selected, the camera control software IC Capture.AS carries out color interpolation. The image stream from the FireWire camera is therefore displayed in color. BY8 is not suitable for the acquisition of uncompressed AVI files.
